Judge Allows Videogame Suit to Continue

By Alabama Public Radio

Fayette, AL – Fayette County Circuit Judge James Moore has allowed a civil suit to continue against the makers and sellers of the video game "Grand Theft Auto." The families of two Fayette police officers and a dispatcher filed the suit. They say the video game influenced Devin Moore to shoot the three men. The suit also says the game actually trained Moore to kill the police department employees. The judge has not issued a trial date for the civil suit. Devin Moore has already been convicted of the murders in a criminal trial. He was sentenced to death.
