JOHNSTOWN, Colo. -- Two teenagers accused of beating a 7-year-old girl to death while playing a game of "Mortal Kombat" have been arrested and charged as adults in the case.
Police said the victim was the step-sister of one of the suspects.
Lamar Roberts, 17, of Westminster, Colo., and Heather Maria Trujillo, 16, were taken into custody Tuesday night.
According to the arrest affidavit, Roberts and Trujillo were baby-sitting Zoe Garcia at her home when Trujillo and Garcia were wrestling as they always do, karate kicking, punching and kicking.
However, court records said a witness saw Roberts kicking and body slamming her. The witness said Roberts didn't know how bad he was hitting Garcia because he was drunk.

Video games and professional wrestling along with poor parenting are to blame here.
