Judge Gives Go Ahead for Video Game Civil Suit in Fayette Killings

FAYETTE, Ala. --  A judge in east Alabama rejected motions to dismiss a civil suit filed by the families of two Fayette police officers and a dispatcher against the makers and sellers of a video game.

The families allege the "Grand Theft Auto" game influenced a man to shoot the three to death.

Relatives of the victims killed June 7th, 2003 by Devin Moore claim the game trained him to kill the officers in the Fayette Police Department.

Fayette County Circuit Judge James Moore issued the ruling on December eighth. He set no trial date. The next step is to begin the discovery process and take depositions.

Devin Moore was sentenced to death October sixth for the murders.
