The man who beat his wife, son and stepson to death has pleaded guilty. Oscar Daniel Espinoza used a baseball bat to kill his wife, stepson, and son. Tiffany didn't show up to work and the police were called to the family's home on Bay Meadows Drive. Police returned to the home after getting a report of a man on the front porch with bloodied hands. According to statements made by his mother and attorney during a sentencing hearing on Friday, Oscar Espinoza, who goes by Daniel or Danny, is an Army veteran who has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. He tried to commit suicide after the murders and was in jail for a year. The proceedings were delayed several times because of questions about his mental competency. In January, he pleaded guilty to the three murders. He listened to victim impact statements from Tiffany's family before he was sentenced. Tiffany's mother, Elouise King, said that she often has nightmares of the terror and fear that Spencer and Eddie must have felt hearing Danny kill their mom. She said she is angry. Tiffany's sister told her children that their cousins and aunt had been killed. She said her 10-year-old son screamed for so long that his nose bled, and her 14-year-old son didn't speak for a week. She overheard her older son tell his little brother that there is no such thing as a monster. Tiffany's cousin talked about the stress and fear that came with not knowing if she would be held responsible. She said that she lost her oldest best friend that weekend. They talked about Tiffany and her sons. Tiffany's family said she was a generous person who would do anything for her loved ones. She cared for an ailing family member, consoled at times of loss, bought dinner and gave rides. Even when Tiffany was a single mother or the sole breadwinner for the family, Page said there was no favor too big or too small. Strong, independent and unafraid of being original. Bunch said he envied her ability to ignore expectation and choose her own style and interests. Two weeks after Spencer was killed, he was looking forward to his first double-digit birthday and was a smart, sensitive child who liked reading and Legos. Bunch said that Spencer had a gentleness about him from the moment he was born. Eddie was excited to go to school like his big brother, and he liked baby dolls and Peppa Pig. Page wished he could take Eddie to the car wash one more time so he could see how happy he was. Oscar said he was sorry to all the people affected by the tragedy. I would just like to say that I love my family very much, and I hope that, as well. His mother and sister both said they forgive him. His mother apologized to Tiffany's family but also talked about her own grief and how she couldn't get the help her son needed after his military service. He cared for the dead and their personal effects. He prepared the bodies of fellow soldiers who died in helicopter crashes in Afghanistan. The remains of civilians killed in Afghanistan and in Haiti were handled by him. Spiering said that Espinoza was awarded several medals but was haunted by his time in the military. Spiering said that he was hospitalized shortly after his discharge and then bounced between different therapists who never kept him on the same medication. He was diagnosed with 70 percent disabled from post-traumatic stress disorder. Spiering said that things began to get worse for Espinoza a few months before the murders. Tiffany was punched in the neck by Espinoza. Spiering said that he checked into the VA hospital but left against medical advice after bailing out of jail. He was released from the VA hospital nine days before the murders. Spiering said his medication was short of therapeutic level. Spiering said that on the night of the murders, he had printed out pictures from his deployment to Afghanistan. They were found on the living room table. He said that when he confessed to killing Tiffany, Spencer and Edward, his thoughts were disorganized. Espinoza kept his head bowed for most of the court proceedings but did look in his mother's direction as she spoke about and held up the last gift Tiffany gave her: Christmas ornaments with Spencer and Eddie's pictures. At the end of the hearing, he was sentenced to 25 years to life for the murders of Spencer and Eddie, and 15 years to life for the murder of Tiffany, for a total of 68 years to life in prison. The weapon enhancement for using a bat in the murders was added to each count. A special enhancement for committing multiple murders was dropped in exchange for his plea. Spiering said that the District Attorney was pursuing the death penalty for him. The plea avoids the trauma of a trial for everyone, including for attorneys, court staff and people who would have had to serve on the jury. Matthew Page said Monday that his family agreed to the plea because they felt it was the best way to move forward. Jaqulene Page said there was only one sentence for Oscar Espinoza. She said that she would like to beat him to death with a baseball bat in his home so that she could bring him back to life. Police want to book him for his next performance.
