Acting on advice of Jack Thompson, sheriff’s deputies search home of suspected Louisiana killer and confiscate M-rated games.
Last week, sheriff’s deputies conducting an investigation into the murder of a 55-year-old Louisiana man seized a number of games rated M for Mature from the home of a 16-year-old suspect, according to a report in the Baton Rouge paper The Advocate. The action was taken at the suggestion of controversial Florida attorney Jack Thompson.
Thompson told The Advocate that he suggested the sheriffs look for violent games in the youth’s house because he felt the killings mirrored a scenario from Grand Theft Auto. The original reports indicated that the victim was beaten to death and shot in the face by the 16-year-old and a 17-year-old accomplice.
“Nobody shoots anybody in the face unless you’re a hit man or a video gamer,” Thompson told the paper.
While the police did seize the games, it’s unclear exactly what role they will play in the investigation. West Feliciana Parish Sheriff’s Captain Spence Dilworth told the paper, “I think it goes beyond video games, but who’s to say?”
