Assistant on Trial for Murder of Tech CEO Over $400K Theft

Tyrese Haspil faces life in prison for allegedly killing Fahim Saleh to hide embezzlement and avoid breakup with girlfriend.

Prosecutors argue Haspil meticulously planned the murder using a Taser and dismembered Saleh's body.
Defense claims Haspil acted under extreme emotional disturbance due to a traumatic childhood and fear of losing his girlfriend.
Saleh discovered the theft but initially opted for repayment instead of pressing charges.
Evidence includes security footage, a Taser tag, and purchases made with Saleh’s credit cards.
Haspil continued stealing money even after Saleh's death, allegedly to fund gifts for a new girlfriend.
