Man in alleged 'Mortal Kombat' death sentenced to 36 years : Updates : The Rocky Mountain News

A teen charged in the death of a 7-year-old Johnstown girl during an alleged imitation of the "Mortal Kombat" video game has been sentenced to 36 years in prison.

Eighteen-year-old Lamar Roberts pleaded guilty last month to knowingly or recklessly causing a death through child abuse and was sentenced Friday.

Prosecutors alleged that Roberts and his 17-year-old girlfriend, Heather Trujillo, were baby-sitting Trujillo's half-sister Zoe Garcia on Dec. 6, 2007, when they kicked, hit and slammed Zoe to the floor during an imitation of the video game.

Trujillo pleaded guilty to negligently causing death through child abuse. She must serve six years in Colorado's youth offender system.

  The guy won't last. He'll be low on the totem pole for his crime. Small brainpan too, from the looks. An overlooked defense?

  Did he shoot a cloud of ice at the child, freeze it, and then punch it, making it explode into a thousand pieces?

I thought I remembered him getting sentenced last year. My brother in-law pulled some bullshit somewhat similar to this and got away free.

They didn't say it was either an accidental kick or a fake kick. I'm guessing it was a real kick then smash.
