Teen Gets 20 Years For Killing Dad

A Mesa teenager who fatally shot his father because he wouldn't let him use the Internet was sentenced to 20 years in prison on Friday.

Hughstan Schlicker had pleaded guilty on May 27 to second-degree murder in the death of his father, Theodore Schlicker, 49.

Schlicker said he was angry his father had taken the teen's computer away. Under state law, Schlicker, now 16, was prosecuted as an adult.

"I'd like to say I'm sorry and I'm scared," the teen told the judge at Friday's sentencing. "I wish my father was still alive and I feel terrible for all this to happen. He didn't deserve this."

Schlicker also told the judge how he would like to rehabilitate himself at the Arizona Department of Corrections. "I want to become a video game designer. So I'm going to do college courses for graphic design and I hope to get my degree."
