Affidavit Reveals Disturbing Details in Principal’s Stabbing:
I was hoping that the affidavit would reveal the motive behind 17-year-old Eduardo Marmolejo stabbing Memphis Junior Academy principal and teacher Suzette York other than the fact that he didn’t like her. What I did find interesting was this.
Marmolejo said he had spent the night prior to the crime sharpening his knife at home, and that he had researched his planning on the internet, the document stated. Investigators believe books and materials on knife fighting and hand-to-hand combat confiscated from the suspect’s home also played a part in his plan.
Seriously? Did he think he was going to have a West Side Story style knife fight with a teacher? However, it does go to show that this was more than likely a premeditated murder. This leads me to believe that charging him as an adult should be a no-brainer.
