Terrible argument by the defense. There are tons of Halo 3 players who are not killers. Too many variables for them to prove that the boy’s addiction was what ’caused the rampage.

Daniel’s father did hate him after Daniel shot him and murdered his wife. Daniel’s father wanted to kill him; he wanted revenge.

Hatred is like an infection. If I hate you, it’s like I have an infection. It doesn’t hurt you, it’s hurts me.

Through the grace of God, Daniel Petric’s father was able to forgive his son and let go of his anger.

Instead of judging this family, try praying that something like this never happens to your family. We are all human. Any one of us could snap at any time.

Makes you wonder if the dad was having an affair and conspired with sonny to do her in. Pfft! what utter nonsense! 18 hrs a day? When did he sleep or eat? What about school or work? Mazzi you are spot on about what mindset there is in that scenario. It’s all about the ID, he’s SO important, he wants what he wants when he wants it and by god you better give it to him! Tantrums/fits are for toddlers not adult aged persons! A human life only worth 23 yrs?! Outrageous! Both dad & son should be locked up, Dad is accomplice! Let’s blame the game too, yeah, his ‘addiction to the game’? And who gave him the time and irresponsibility to play 18 hrs a day?

This brings to mind a local case of a kid named Christopher Porco who (according to media reports) was possibly upset over the fact that his father wouldn’t sign for anymore loans for him because he was screwing up in school and the belief is that Christopher entered his parents house while they were sleeping or otherwise very late at night and murdered them. Well the thing is, mom survived. The morning that EMS responded to the house, they found mom pretty badly bludgeoned and near death on her bed and dad was butchered at the bottom of the staircase. Mom initially indicated to authorities via a headshake that Christopher supposedly did it. After being in the hospital for quite some time, she comes out and says she believes her son is innocent and has no recollection of the events. This kid was found guilty but he is appealing and mom is still standing behind him. I personally believe the kid did it, and again if you research his name and the story you will see he is from a good family, likely very spoiled and used to getting his way. Kids who are yessed to death all their lives don’t like the word no and when something doesn’t go exactly their way, they snap. And yes, I am sorry to say but someone Daniel’s age should certainly understand that death is permanent, video game or not…although it is not unheard of that some people get so caught up in fantasy they forget what reality is and can’t separate the two. And why was he allowed to go to a friends house while recovering from an accident? Sounds like he should have been in his own home!

I was just so shocked being that I have lived in major and I do mean major cities before to find a city as small as Wellington mentioned was interesting to say the least …BTW kudos on the website it is an awesome albeit somewhat dark but very informative website.

Oh and one of those cities I haved lived in was the illustrious San Diego Cali, home to Andrew Cunanan (I know I probably spelled that wrong)
