Lamar Roberts, who was convicted of beating a 7-year-old to death in 2007, was sentenced to 36 years in prison yesterday.

Roberts, dubbed the Mortal Kombat killer by the media, beat to death Zoe Garcia, half-sister of his girlfriend, Heather Trujillo. The two were supposedly babysitting the child when they kicked, hit, and slammed the child to the floor.

The initial reason reason they gave was that they were reenacting moves from Mortal Kombat. Garcia's aunt and stepmother believed that this was just an alibi, and that video game violence was not the issue.

The sister, Trujillo, got a plea bargain and received an 18-year suspended sentence, and six years in a youth offender program.

Thoughts? I hope he gets killed in prison, no man deserves to be on Earth after killing a 7 year old girl.

So no one else is bothered by the fact that the sister who help the guy beat up her own little sister is getting a slap on the wrist? Fking 18 years probation? C'mon! This is another example of sex bias at it's finest in the American Justice system.
