Google executive 'too lucrative' to harm, says prostitute's lawyer

A high-priced prostitute accused of abandoning a Google executive on his yacht after injecting him up with a fatal dose of heroin never meant for the man to die because he was paying her well, a defence lawyer said today.

“There was no intent to harm or injure Mr. Hayes,” said Larry Biggam, representing defendant Alix Tichelman. “Why would she? He was a lucrative source of income to her.”
