She had originally pleaded not guilty in July.
Police said Forrest Hayes hired the high-end prostitute several times and the two were engaged in mutual drugs and sex the night he died.
Alex Tichelman pleads not guilty to giving a fatal dose of heroin to a Google executive on his yacht in Santa Cruz . Here are some raw scenes from court.
Hayes, a married father of five, kissed Tichelman before she injected him with a lethal dose of heroin, according to court documents.
Investigators said surveillance video from the boat shows Tichelman callously stepped over Hayes' body multiple times, once to finish a glass of wine, and another to pull down blinds to hide his body, before leaving without calling 911.
Many of her friends told NBC News that she was a sensitive, big-hearted dreamer, and far from a sociopath.
"She's a good person," Hennessey Shaat told NBC News.
Her attorney, Larry Bigam, had previously told NBC Bay Area that Tichelman was a "wounded bird."
“and seveb itger other “???
Ya got me!
She and her victim deserved each other.
Yea, that's it. I'm a wounded bird. Get it?!

Too much money, no morals.
The face of evil...
Looks like a guy in drag.
She does. And she got off easy.
She definitely deserves prison. Maybe she can sober up in there and turn her life around.
It's difficult to dredge up any sympathy for him.
By cheating and hiring prostitutes and hooking up with strangers, this man was endangering his own family - wife and children. He might've pretended to be a good husband and father, and he might've looked the part, but really he must've been a sociopath himself.

There are rumours that “Sundown” was inspired by his then girlfriend, Cathy Smith, later more infamously known for her involvement in the death of John Belushi. Lightfoot has commented in interviews that she was “the one woman in my life who most hurt me.”

It took 8 posts to get to the root of the problem. (It’s not so much the money as the morals. But it’s easy for someone with no morals or weak morals to be corrupted by the money. Most people are too busy earning a living to go that far down such a dark path.)
Don't think she's a "victim", but he was obviously not a choirboy hangin' out on his boat when a vampire happened to drop in with a couple of needles.
Almost like he had a death wish and more proof that the Devil doesn’t spare his own. The ‘high-end’ prostitute looks crazy as all get out.
That he so degraded himself, his wife and his kids. How did your husband/father die? Of a heroin overdose with his regular hooker.
Christ must weep.
