HOUSTON — A 17-year-old computer enthusiast received 10 years of probation for paying an undercover investigator $5.30 and seven computer games to kill another student.
Shawn Kevin Quinn pleaded no contest Thursday. He was accused of trying to hire a hit man to kill the boyfriend of a girl that he had a crush on.
State District Judge Denise Collins ordered Quinn to pay a $500 fine, attend counseling and cut the time he spends on his computer from an average of eight hours a day to 90 minutes.
