'Mortal Kombat' Defense Rejected in Court

Valiss writes: A 17-year-old and a 16-year old were charged as adults earlier this week in Johnstown, Colo., with one count each of felony child abuse causing death. They are alleged to have killed a 7-year-old girl they were babysitting by beating her with imitations of moves from the "Mortal Kombat" video game. "There is no such defense as, 'The video game made me do it.' It won't even act as mitigation at sentencing if these teens are convicted," legal analyst Scott Robinson told Denver station KUSA.
