Quote:A Jacksonville mother charged with shaking her baby to death has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder.
Alexandra V. Tobias, 22, was arrested after the January death of 3-month-old Dylan Lee Edmondson. She told investigators she became angry because the baby was crying while she was playing a computer game called Farmville on the Facebook social-networking website.
Tobias entered her plea Wednesday before Circuit Judge Adrian G. Soud. A second-degree murder charge is punishable by up to life in prison.
Prosecutor Richard Mantei said Tobias' sentence could be less because of state guidelines that call for 25 to 50 years. Soud offered no promises on what he'll order during a sentencing hearing scheduled for December.
Outside the courtroom, Mantei said Tobias' plea will help avoid the family reliving the tragedy during a jury trial.
Tobias told investigators that she shook the baby, smoked a cigarette to compose herself and then shook him again. She said the baby may have hit his head during the shaking.

Damn facebook!!!! Look what you have done
Actually, if my memory serves me correctly, Farmville isn't a part of Facebook but is made by another company and is just played as an app on facebook.

I know, right? o_o
Read the title, thinking "Oh boy, another MMO-obsessed murder...", but then I read "Farmville."
I don't know why I'm so surprised about it, it's basically another person with terrible self-control, no matter what game it is. :/

Would the story be any less horrifying if she was shaking the baby because it was distracting her on a z-run?

Considering that actually takes active attention and timing, yes.

Evidence that Farmville and Zynga in general is a detriment to gaming freedom. papayas.
Actually I just hate them for doing something like this. It's not limited to Escapist though...

That really make me sad. Even more sad knowing Farmville is a casual game that doesn't require timing or attention of any sort to play...

Over a FB game.. REALLY? REEEEEEEEE-EALY? Wow. And here I thought it was an MMO. This just proves she was a dumb-ass to start with. If it was an MMO, woulda been like "Expected".

I don't think a prison sentence will help this woman, it'll just guarantee she never does anything positive with her life.

I used to play FV, but I stopped a long time ago.
But really, FV of all games?

Nope.
I never even grew corn there, either.
