Son admits killing estranged father while high on mushrooms

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — A central New York man has admitted stabbing his estranged father to death while high on hallucinogenic mushrooms. Local media report 24-year-old Herman Tolbert Jr. of Clay pleaded guilty Thursday to first-degree manslaughter in a deal that will send him to prison for 15 to 20 years. He had been charged with second-degree murder, but prosecutors agreed to the plea bargain because he had a history of mental illness and acted while emotionally disturbed.
