Arraignment for prostitute in Google exec's death

A high-priced prostitute accused of leaving a Google executive to die on his yacht after shooting him up with a fatal hit of heroin is scheduled to appear in a California courtroom Wednesday to answer to manslaughter, drug and prostitution charges.

Alix Tichelman, 26, who's being held on $1.5 million bail, may also get a bail hearing at Santa Cruz County Superior Court.

Surveillance footage from the yacht shows Tichelman gather her belongings, including the heroin and needles, casually step over Forrest Hayes' body to finish a glass of wine, clean up a counter, then lower a blind before leaving the yacht on Nov. 23, police said.

The 51-year-old father of five was found dead by the captain of his 50-foot yacht Escape the next day.

Seems she has a problem with overdosing people with heroin.

Or murder.

Dude seemed like he should have known better, unless he was suicidal and went down a self destructive path. I get the appeal of hookers on a yacht, but why would an intelligent person shoot heroin? That gives me the creeps just as much as the depraved look in her crazy eyes. From her pics and facebook posts, she seems like she wouldn't be bothered if people died in front of her.

Talk about irony - he did not escape her and she won't escape a hefty prison sentence.
And his poor family won't escape the shame of his double life.

Of what a tangled web we weave...
