Angel Euceda was 20 back in December of 2010 when he hid in the closet of his 14-year-old girlfriend in the Richmond district with a kitchen knife, waited two hours, and then leaped out and attempted to kill his girlfriend's mother, but quickly lost the stomach for it. Yesterday, Euceda, now 22, was sentenced in a plea deal to ten years for attempted murder.

The girlfriend had disappeared to a neighbor's house at the time of the crime, and in the trial there was evidence of "significant pressure" by the little tart to get her boyfriend to murder her mother — obviously because her mother had probably told her she would lock her in a tower, or similar, before she'd let her date a 20-year-old.

In the end, though, Euceda's conscience got the better of him, and he botched the stabbing after merely puncturing the poor woman's stomach, and ran out of the house. Euceda's attorney tried to say it was just a rash act, "motivated by stupid young love."

We're sure that mother-daughter relationship is just peachy now...
