Summary
In a bizarre turn of events, a man is on trial for murder after allegedly amputating another mans foot for $5,000. The court heard that Kalman Tal, 66, offered John Yalu, 41, the cash to perform the procedure. Yalu is accused of using a battery-powered circular saw, leaving Tal to bleed out. The jury must decide if Yalu intended to cause grievous bodily harm. Tal had sought out Yalu after a doctor refused the amputation. The trial is expected to last seven days, focusing on Yalus intent at the time of the amputation. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
