HoosierTimes: Defendants refer to 'The Matrix' Defendants refer to 'The Matrix'

Josh Cooke wasn't merely a fan of the hit movie The Matrix. He believed he lived inside The Matrix, his lawyers say.
The 19-year-old had a huge movie poster hanging in his Oakton, Va., bedroom and a trench coat like the one worn by Neo, Keanu Reeves's character. He bought a 12-gauge shotgun, similar to one of the weapons Neo uses to fight the "agents" in the movie.
And on Feb. 17, Fairfax County police say, he walked into his family's basement and shot his father seven times with the shotgun and his mother twice. He then called the police � twice � to calmly report the killings.
