Andrew Lackey, 24, of Huntsville, Alabama is on trial for the murder of an 80-year old widower that happened on Halloween of 2005. The victim was found lying in his own blood in his living room with at least seventy stab wounds, an eye gouged out, and a gunshot wound. He faces either the death penalty or life in prison if convicted. His defense? "Video games made me do it."

Gladden contends Lackey did not intentionally kill Newman. Lackey is charged with capital murder and faces the death penalty or life in prison.

Gladden described Lackey as a computer geek who had immersed himself in video games and lived in "a different world than you and I." He said Lackey reacted defensively when Newman, protecting himself against the intrusion, shot Lackey.
