Defense Claims Ronny Zamora Conditioned by TV Violence
A Miami defense psychiatrist testified 15 year old Ronny Zamora was conditioned by television violence when he killed 83 year old Elinor Haggart during a home robbery. Dr. Michael Gilbert said Zamora mimicked TV depictions and was insane at the time, with a troubled home life and a personality disorder. The defense argues excessive TV viewing influenced his acts while the case proceeds with separate trials for Darrell Agrella.
