When I was 15, a cousin and I role-played as Mortal Kombat characters all the time. I had a thing for Sub-Zero and she liked Katana. But we never, even once, injured each other or anyone else.
I'm with Pie on this one. The blame does not rest on the game, but the two idiots that didn't realize that it IS possible to beat a child to death. They well deserve their 48 years in prison.
My deepest condolences go out to the mother who was at work while this was going on. Now she has to endure the death of her younger daughter while her oldest goes to prison for 48 years as the one who done it. I can't imagine the grief she must be feeling.
