Violent video game not to blame for murder...
.... as the game was found in the victim's room, not the murderer. http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=17701

Violent video game not to blame for murder...
Posted that earlier, actually.

The ambulance-chasing lawyer (forget the name) says that the murderer 'left it' in the victims room (what a load of bollocks that is), and said the 'no-connection' stories were made up.  Presumably by the police, then.......

IGN: Fair enough...

Thompson: By the way, the reports that the game belonged to the victim are false. Somebody in a gaming magazine in Scotland or England put that out. That's false. The game belonged to the murderer.

IGN: To the kid that killed him?

Thompson: Yeah, he left it at the house of the victim. It wasn't the victim's, it was the killer's. There's corroboration of that from other sources.*

IGN: How did the killer get the game in the first place?

Thompson: I don't know, but he had it.


(*the victims family who are committed to cashing in with a hefty lawsuit, I'd wager)
