Woman kills baby over Farmville

"A Jacksonville mother charged with shaking her baby to death has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder.

Alexandra V. Tobias, 22, was arrested after the January death of 3-month-old Dylan Lee Edmondson. She told investigators she became angry because the baby was crying while she was playing a computer game called Farmville on the Facebook social-networking website.

Tobias entered her plea Wednesday before Circuit Judge Adrian G. Soud. A second-degree murder charge is punishable by up to life in prison.

Prosecutor Richard Mantei said Tobias' sentence could be less because of state guidelines that call for 25 to 50 years. Soud offered no promises on what he'll order during a sentencing hearing scheduled for December.

Outside the courtroom, Mantei said Tobias' plea will help avoid the family reliving the tragedy during a jury trial.

Tobias told investigators that she shook the baby, smoked a cigarette to compose herself and then shook him again. She said the baby may have hit his head during the shaking."

Thoughts?

How about some ironic punishment here, maybe shake her to death? I always knew Farmville was evil...

Disallow movement until death.
Also ironic!

Those are in the first half as well (and pol pot and isn't in western society, which I'm referring to) while the cold war is just after the war

Lol, farmville sucks too.

Some people just deserve to die.

Or could we make it so that she can't move, see, speak, hear, touch, smell or taste but fully retain conciousness?

If you get that frustrated over something like Farmville, then you're doing it wayyy wrong.

Did you see the headless dog thread yesterday? She will have most of her senses, but she definitely wont be moving.

Nah, just keep her strapped to a bed 24/7 but make it so that she can survive, like nutrients through an IV, etc.

No I did not see that headless dog thread yesterday. Explain?

It was a discussion over the video below and what we could do with todays technology considering that the experiment in the video was done in 1922~ Russia. I don't have sound on my computer so I don't know exactly how they did it, but they found that they could keep the brain alive with out the body attached.

Sounds just like Johnny Got His Gun. I like that idea, a truly horrific, psycholigical torture.

The punishment must fit the crime, this clearly doesnt.

[QUOTE="chrisrooR"]

[QUOTE="carrot-cake"]
No, that would be more of a blessing. Staring at a white wall all day occasionally seeing a person replace the IV while talking to no one is enough I'd think. She would be crazy within a week.

I believe a life sentence is more than enough justice done here. Any person in prison for 10+ years has enough time to seriously reflect on their lives and the choices they've made(unless they're in some sort of gang, in which case they're in trouble).

That IV idea would probably result in serious psychological trauma....possibly even insanity lol

She must have really thought Farmville was serious business...

Sounds like a pretty pitiful excuse for a human being though,hopefully she'll get charged pretty bad lol

wow.. thats terrible news. farmville's not even a good game either.

already a thread on this :x :P

Murder because of Farmville? Ugh...

I think the whole Farmville aspect of this story is being blown up. Who's to say that she wasn't just a new mother with Postpartum Depression and this was the last straw? I think the media is just blowing this story out of proportion.

Breaking News: Jack Thompson vows to protect adults from video games; children impede enjoyment. He says "The amount of times an adult has been driven over the edge by a screaming child, whether it be by Gamechat or noise inside your own home is unacceptable. All those years of trying to protect those little **** and they were the root of the problem all along."

Jack Thompson was last seen in an arcade, reportedly looking like he had "an overdose of coffee, LSD and a bad case ofhemorrhoids".

And Farmville claims another victim.
