The lawyer for a man being tried for murder is trying to convince an Alabama jury that the defendant believed he was acting out a video game when he murdered an 80-year-old man on Halloween, 2005. GamePolitics has the story.

[Attorney] Gladden described Lackey as a computer geek who had immersed himself in video games and lived in “a different world than you and I.”
