BOSS ‘BEGGED HOOKER FOR HEROIN JABS THAT KILLED HIM’
THE prostitute accused of killing a Google executive by injecting him with HEROIN says she was just following orders.
Alix Tichelman, 26, was on board Forrest Hayes’s yacht in Santa Cruz, California, when the 51-year-old dad-of-five suffered a lethal overdose and died last November.
Denying a charge of manslaughter, Tichelman’s lawyers say her punter requested the shot.
Defending Larry Biggam said at a hearing yesterday: “My client Alix didn’t do anything to Mr Hayes that he didn’t want to happen to him.
“She did what she was asked. Consensual adults involved in mutual drug usage. It went wrong, but it wasn’t intended.”
Biggam also called on police to release the full surveillance video taken from the boat, which prosecutors are using as evidence for a number of allegations.
Footage
The footage allegedly shows Tichelman injecting Hayes before watching him die then finishing her glass of wine and stepping over the body.
She then spends time researching legal strategies online, police claim, before gathering her belongings to leave, hours before Hayes was found dead.
Police have berated Tichelman for appearing to make no effort to call 911 in this video.
Her lawyers have only seen 20 minutes of the footage described in court but Biggam insists it shows the overdose was “accidental”.
She now faces eight charges which all carry 15-year jail terms, including manslaughter, prostitution, destroying evidence and several related to administering and possessing heroin.
The hearing will resume on December 5.
