After less than seven hours of deliberation, the jury agreed with plaintiff’s lawyer Geoffrey Fieger that the producers should have known Schmitz was mentally unbalanced and might go off the deep end if “humiliated” in this way....
Today, after much speculation about what we can expect in the next GTA installment (as well as a teaser countdown), Rockstar has unveiled the first trailer for the game - giving us a sneak peek at new protagonist, Adrian, as well as the latest sandbox city backdrop, Los Santos.
