Former psychology professor sentenced to six years in prison for killing a man she says raped her

A former psychology professor, 41 year old Norma Patricia Esparza, was sentenced to six years in prison on Friday for the 1995 murder of the man she says raped her when she was a college student in California.
Esparza pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter two years ago in a deal with prosecutors.

In 1995, Esparza reportedly pointed out Gonzalo Ramirez at a bar to her former boyfriend Gianni Van and two others followed and rear-ended Ramirez in his vehicle, then attacked, kidnapped and killed him, dumping his body on the side of a road in Irvine, authorities said.

Ramirez's body was found by the road in Orange County.

Esparza moved to France, received a doctorate in psychology and worked as a consultant for the World Health Organization and as a professor in Switzerland.

Barcelona 4-2 Leicester: Ahmed Musa scores twice but Foxes come unstuck in Stockholm

Leicester staged an Ahmed Musa-inspired comeback in the second half but were eventually out-gunned by Barcelona in their final pre-season friendly in Stockholm.

A Luis Suarez strike sandwiched between two excellent Munir finishes gave the La Liga champions a 3-0 half-time lead and 17-year-old substitute Rafa Mujica sealed the 4-2 victory after two excellent strikes from Leicester's new Nigerian striker.

But while Leicester go into their competitive season opener off the back of shipping eight goals in two games there were certainly some promising signs for Claudio Ranieri .

This NFL Player Had An Adorably Terrifying The Walking Dead-Themed Wedding — Watch The Cute Video!

'Til death by zombie do them part.

The Walking Dead may be known for forcing its characters to attend a lot of funerals… but we're happy to say the show is now responsible for at least one wedding!

No, Glenn and Maggie didn't officially have a service off-camera — in actuality, a professional football player just tied the knot with a zombie-themed ceremony.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back DeAngelo Williams and his new bride,Risalyn Williams, ran down the aisle over the weekend surrounded by zombified versions of their bridal party!

Apparently, the NFLer is a big fan of the AMC drama and originally wanted to do zombie-themed engagement photos, but since he was in the middle of his sports season a few months ago, DeAngelo and Risalyn decided to save the horror for their actual wedding day.

But if your invitation somehow got lost in the mail… De teamed up with ESPN to document the entire thing, and even gushed to the sports outlet about the big day, saying:

"It is a dream come true! What makes it even more magical is not only did I become a walker, I became a husband."

That's the cutest thing we've heard all day!

It seems like it's getting harder and harder to get a good night's sleep.

A myriad of distractions are constantly in cahoots to keep you from getting enough shut-eye.

We're supposed to get seven to nine hours of sleep, but many Americans don't hit that target every night.

Sleep can provide incredible health benefits — from helping us lose weight to improving our memories, and even making us happier.

So when you're lying in bed with one of these nine common sleep problems, here's what the science says you should do:

Strategically placing pillows is a good way to relieve all sorts of pain. If you wake up with a sore shoulder, try hugging your pillow when you’re going to sleep.

Iggy Azalea Talks Adam Lambert, ‘X Factor’ & Her French Montana Collab

Iggy Azalea has a habit of spilling the tea during red carpet interviews and she came through with a couple of juicy tidbits at Maxim’s Hot 100 party on Saturday night (July 30). The Australian rapper started by opening up about judging styles on X Factor Australia. “I’m the nice one,” she told E! News. “I thought that I would be the mean one, but Adam [Lambert] is so spicy. He really tells it how it is. I think I’m pretty meek compared to him.” As for her new music?

Donald Trump is getting slammed by billionaires with way more money than him

Mark Cuban on Saturday during a campaign event, and Warren Buffett on Monday.

Clinton is campaigning with the ultrarich for two reasons:

1. These three men can make the case, more credibly than almost anyone else, that Donald Trump is a bad businessman.
2. It drives Donald Trump crazy to be criticized by people with more money than him.

Unlike Trump, Clinton's billionaires are self-made. Cuban has particular authority when he mocks Trump for having to "ask daddy for a small loan of a million dollars" when he started his career — and when he calls Trump a "jagoff."

Bloomberg, who has four times as much wealth as Trump claims to have, was especially cutting last Wednesday at the convention:
