It doesn't happen often, but occasionally videogame-related news can be nothing less than tragic. A 22-year-old mother in Jacksonville, Florida plead guilty this week to second-degree murder after she shook her baby to death for interrupting her FarmVille session.
According to the Florida Times-Union (via Huffington Post), the mother, Alexandra V. Tobias, told investigators she became angry after her 3-month-old baby started crying while she was playing FarmVille on Facebook. Tobias further explained to investigators that after she shook her baby once, she "smoked a cigarette to compose herself and then shook him again." She also said the baby may have hit his head during the shaking.

Tobias now faces a potential sentence of life in prison, although state guidelines call for a sentence of 25 to 50 years. The sentencing hearing is scheduled for December.
