At Memphis Junior Academy in Memphis, Tennessee, 17 year-old student Eduardo Marmolejo stabbed his principal Suzette York to death. According to the police affidavit, Marmolejo had been planning the attack since last May because he “did not like her and she made him angry.” The attack took place in an empty classroom where Marmolejo knew he and York would be alone. The young man accused has admitted to stabbing the victim multiple times and leaving her in a pool of blood at the East Memphis private school. Both the prosecuting attorney and the defense attorneys in the case have asked for mental evaluations of the teenager.
