"Assistant District Attorney Viviane Dussek stated that Leyden 'walked into that building not knowing she would never walk out again,' emphasizing the deliberate nature of the alleged dismemberment."
"Prosecutors indicated that surveillance video and records would show Marcelin buying tools and later leaving the building with a bag linked to Leyden, forming a crucial part of their case."
"The Brooklyn District Attorney's Office reported that Leyden's torso was discovered in a shopping cart, and further searches of Marcelin's apartment revealed additional remains and bloody tools."
"Defense attorneys are focusing on another woman, Lisa Lindahl, who was present during the incident, arguing that her presence introduces reasonable doubt about Marcelin's guilt."
Harvey Marcelin, 87, faces charges for the murder and dismemberment of 68-year-old Susan Leyden in 2022. Prosecutors presented a timeline detailing Leyden's last moments and the alleged dismemberment process. They plan to use surveillance footage showing Marcelin purchasing tools and leaving with a bag linked to Leyden. Evidence found at the scene includes Leyden's torso in a shopping cart and remains in Marcelin's apartment. The defense suggests another witness, Lisa Lindahl, may create reasonable doubt regarding Marcelin's involvement.
