College Student,First-Degree Murder,Stabbing

A 21-year-old college student has been charged with first-degree murder after driving to his mother's home and stabbing her multiple times because she irritated him. The student confessed to the slaying and expressed his long-standing desire to kill his mother.

A 21-year-old college student has been charged with first-degree murder after Florida authorities say he drove to his mother’s home and stabbed her multiple times Saturday because “she got on my nerves,” authorities said. Emmanuel Espinoza drove about 165 miles from the University of Florida in Gainesville to Frostproof, Florida, for a family event.

When he arrived at his mother's, he began stabbing her when she answered the door and then called 911 to confess to the slaying, said Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd. “We talked to him and he confessed. He said, ‘You know, I have wanted to kill my mother for many, many years because she got on my nerves,’” Judd said. “We asked him, ‘What’s your relationship with your mother?' and, he said about an eight out of 10, that he really loved her, but she irritated him.” The mother was a second-grade teacher and was loved by the community, Judd said. “This is a horrible event,” Judd said. “It's a very sad day with an inexplicable, vicious murder,” he said

Private College Costs Exceed $90,000, Making College Education Expensive for Wealthy FamiliesA number of private colleges have exceeded the $90,000 threshold for the first time this year as they set their annual costs for tuition, board, meals, and other expenses. This means that a wealthy family with three children could expect to spend over $1 million by the time their youngest child completes a four-year degree. However, many colleges with large endowments have been focused on making college more affordable for lower-income students. Some lower-income families may only have to pay 10% of the advertised rate, making attending a selective private college cheaper than a state institution.
