Jurors deliberated for just over an hour
yesterday before convicting 20-year-old Devin Moore for the 2003 slayings of three police officers. The defense team
had attempted to blame GTA—which Moore spent hours playing—and childhood abuse for Moore's actions. When Moore was
apprehended on the day of the shootings he had told police, "Life is a video game. You've got to die sometime."
Thankfully, the judge had barred testimony linking the triple-homicide to any of the GTA games. However, the families
of the slain officers did file a civil
suit against Take-Two and several retail stores. No trial date has been set for that lawsuit.
