The jury in the murder trial of an Iowa teenager heard on Wednesday a disturbing 911 call in which the 13-year-old suspect admitted to killing his own mother after a failed attempt to rape her.
Crooks, who is now 14, was charged with first-degree murder and assault with intent to commit sexual abuse in the March 24, 2012, slaying of his mother, 37-year-old Gretchen Crooks.
In the 911 recording made on the night of the murder at the family's Osage home, Noah Crooks could be heard telling dispatcher Barb Michael: 'I’m not joking at all. She’s dead. I’m scared. I killed my mom with my .22. I don’t know why I did it.'

I don't care what the game is and we know this will give the media ammo it needs to attack the medium.
What really disturbs me is the kid tried to rape his mother then shoots her. WTF? I don't understand this at all.

Edited so the details are out of the topic title.

Bloody hell, thanks for brightening up my Saturday night, Ryudo. This is as bad as Teepo's post, only it's factual and has a link to the Daily Mail website, so it's worse . BAN.

Is daily mail a false news site? If so then a mod can lock or delete.

I read this, it's not the kids fault he had a rage problem that makes him blank out and not realise what he is doing.

apparently he called the cops himself and contacted his father after he had come to his senses and realised what he had done.

and no the daily mail is not a false news site just very biased and often purposely miss details

the article that I read

A 14 year old Osage, Iowa boy is on trial for shooting and killing his mother, Gretchen Crooks, last March. The jury in the case recently heard the 911 call where Noah Crooks described to a dispatcher how he shot his mother after she took away his copy of Call of Duty saying, “Something just came over me.”

The jury also heard how the 14 year old attempted to rape his 37 year old mother but couldn’t do it saying, “I feel crazy and I know I’m not. I think I have some form of ADD…I tried to rape her. I tried to rape her but I couldn’t do it…Who tries to rape their own mom? My life is down the drain now.”

Deputies seized the murder weapon, a .22 caliber rifle which was given to the boy by his mother when he was 11 years old.

Noah Crooks’ attorney is not denying that his client killed his mother, but claims the boy suffered what he referred to as a “tumor of rage” which essentially rendered him insane at the time of the killing. In his address to the jury, the defense also said that a child psychiatrist will testify Crooks suffers from ‘intermittent explosive disorder’ – a mental illness marked by repeated episodes of impulsive, aggressive or violent behavior.

I have ADD and does not compel you to rape at east never for me. Tho I guess if untreated can get worse. When I was much younger I had really violent tempers and at times yeah you sorta black out. Now have total control over the ADD.

the kid said he thinks he has some form of ADD because he is 14 and knows nothing about mental illnesses, the psychologist said the following:

Ah ok. Makes more sense. ADD tempers usually consisting of breaking stuff for attention not people from what I remember

[south carmain]

I guess ADD results in frustration rather than blind rage though I guess one can trigger the other if the person is mentally unstable enough.

I guess he was a ticking time bomb who the parents were stupid enough to give a gun to, this is a perfect example of what a "what is the worse that could happen?" attitude can lead you to.

Where did he get the gun from...?

birthday present apparently, got offered the .22 caliber when he was 11 years old

a .22 caliber rifle which was given to the boy by his mother when he was 11 years old.

[beedle]

Good call on the topic title edit, Ryudo. We must bear in mind that there may be nippers on this forum, like Beeds for example.
