Finally, coverage!

Assistant beheaded tech CEO so girlfriend wouldn’t find out he stole $400K from employer and leave him: lawyers

A tech CEO’s personal assistant claims he beheaded his boss in a crime of passion, his attorney argued Friday.

nypost.com

Haspil worried he would be “abandoned” if [his girlfriend] found out about the $400,000 he had stolen, so decided his only two options were “suicide or homicide,” and chose the latter, according to prosecutors.

“[Despite this,] Haspil was spotted two days after the murder with a [new girlfriend] strolling through Noho and buying a bouquet of birthday balloons, sources said.”

“[The defense attorney] is trying to convince a 12-person jury Haspil suffered from “extreme emotional disturbance,” which led him to kill.”

Thanks for the brief info on the article. I can not access it as I have on.

It does say the defense attorney argued Friday - does that mean this was closing arguments maybe? Any mention of witnesses? State or defense? TIA!

Unfortunately, there is no technical trial information (e.g., what stage they are at, what witnesses, if any, have presented, etc.) in the article. To me (MOO), the information reads as if it was pulled from opening arguments only.

Some kind of "arguments"! Opening or closing though.... You would think there would be more coverage of this in NY - ??

 

[Niner]

Okay - this article says Friday had opening statements...

Jury in trial of tech CEO Fahim Saleh's killer hears grisly 911 call: 'His head is not there anymore!'

Lawyers for Tyrese Haspil argue his killing of the Gokada CEO was brought on by extreme emotional disturbance. It's a tough defense to clinch.

www.businessinsider.com

and dated May 24, 2024

......
The defense concedes that Haspil, 25, stole from and then killed and dismembered his ex-boss.

But Haspil suffered an extreme emotional disturbance during the weeks it took to plan, execute, and try to cover up the killing, defense lawyer Sam Roberts told jurors in opening statements Friday.

So - the previous days must have been picking a jury & other stuff. I shall change my notes.
