Teen Sentenced for Killing Mom Over Halo 3

Back in 2007, Daniel Petric shot and kill his mother and simultaneously injured his father after the parents took away his Halo 3. It’s been a long two years and a long trial, but the ruling came through today, sentencing Petric to 23 years in prison. The sentence might have been worse – life without parole – but leniency seems to have been given on the basis of age and also the defense’s argument that the boy was addicted to the video game.
