microphone. Request an interview

The victims of 14-year-old Codey Posey filed a $600 million lawsuit against Posey and many companies, including the makers of the controversial video game “Grand Theft Auto-Vice City.”

Posey shot and killed his father, stepmother and stepsister on famous newsman Sam Donaldson’s ranch in 2004. The suit claims that Posey played ‘Grand Theft’ “obsessively” for months prior to the killings.

University of Minnesota sociologist Carl Malmquist is available nationwide for radio interviews on the topic of video games and adolescent behavior.
