good to bad there is no death penalty

I followed the story outside of n4g. The guy had a laughable defense, basically saying that the deceased pulled a knife on him and he took the knife away and "didn't mean to hurt him" - however stabbing 86 times doesn't really count as self defense now does it. The knife was subsequently proved to be the murderers. He also tried to write a suicide note in the lettering of the deceased. Can anyone say busted?

Be glad justice was done - lets hope the media doesn't turn it into all about video games...

True the gaming only gave the three people a shared hobby. The internet provided the ways of communication and subsequent stalking :(

I am happy they found the man guilty. The evidence against him was just too much.

Well, I'm really glad he was given life sentence too. Btw, I knew about this here, in N4G ^^U. But it didn-t look like the media tried to turn on videogames again...
