Or he's crazy? I'm tired of all these excuses for people to get off easy. He had to have some sort of common sense telling him not to kill your parents over a video game. If the kid was found mentally insane he would most likely stay in the institution much longer than what he was sentenced in prison.
[QUOTE="tofu-lion91"]Runs away before Jack Thompson gets here o_O I wish life in prison meant the rest of your life - that would be justice. At least he got a good 20 years, most people get 10-15 for killing someone nowadays :| I'm suprisedthe judge didn'tgive him like 5 years because he/she prolly loves Halo also.
The defense's argument was that Daniel was so young and so addicted to the game that he could not be held accountableLink334
So who is be accountable for his gaming addiction?
I assume that would be his 360's fault correct? I smell a lawsuit. He certainly didn't think it through than, because he now is not gonna be able to play a 360 for 23 years.

I found this on a previous article. "In his testimony, Mark Petric recalled Daniel sitting both him and his wife down saying, "Would you guys close your eyes. I have a surprise for you." Daniel Petric then opened fire on his parents." That's just... D:SolidSnake35
I simply can't imagine a time in my life where I would find any material object more valuable than my parents' lives. What a sad story. The kid obviously has severe anger management issues that were not properly addressed, and someone died because of it.

Ohh and here come´s the blame wagon, Politician´s refusing to admit that the kid was as sane as Charlie Manson and that it was just and only just the video gamemessing him up.
Hell Halo 3 probably helped the kid from climbing up the water tower with a rifle.

Thats it, people obviously cant have a responsible mindset towards videogames. This whole thing proves video games can lead to addiction, causes death, alter the addict behaviour causing harms to others in order to feed their need to play.
This is something that i can't get into my head. Why would he choose materialism over his mothers love? Does it have anything to do with video games? Would he have done this if his mommy took his car away?
At any rate, I'm glad he's in jail. But 23 years on a kid? damn...

No, he chose to try to get a double kill. Isn't there an achievement for that?
