A Waukegan man who said he was angered that his girlfriend's 3-year-old son cursed while playing a video game was convicted of first-degree murder Tuesday for the child's beating death.
Sometime after 11 p.m. on Sept. 14, 2011, the boy supposedly let slip an expletive, followed by "he got me" as he was playing "Mortal Kombat" while waiting for dinner, prosecutors said.
Thomas Albea, who was 18 at the time, later admitted to police that he responded by striking X'Zavion Charleston several times.
During the second and final day of Albea's murder trial, a videotaped statement was played in court in which Albea admitted to police that he struck the child "four or five" times in response to the boy's comment. More
