Video games are conditioning our youth and teaching them to kill......
The 18-year-old says he often played in a fantasy world, and that's what happened the day he killed his foster brother, something he openly admitted to.
"Now I know I did hurt Dominic," Metzker-Madsen said
"You killed him?" the prosecution questioned.
"Yes," Metzker-Madsen responded.
Metzker-Madsen says the two were playing Roman mythology outside their foster parents' home in August 2013. Elkins had only been with the Coolman family for about three weeks.
The teen says he saw a goblin while playing a new game called Skylanders, and believed it was real. Instead, the goblin was actually Dominic. Metzker-Madsen said the goblin attacked, so he attacked it with a fake sword, and then a real brick.
"I started pushing his head into the water as I was hitting him with the brick," Metzker-Madsen explained.
