Hollywood Heir Sam Haskell IV Pleads Not Guilty to Triple Murder

Suspected of Dismembering Victims, Haskell Faces Life in Prison if Convicted

Sam Haskell IV, son of a prominent Hollywood executive, has pleaded not guilty to the murder of his wife, Mei Haskell, and her parents, Yanxiang Wang and Gaoshan Li.
Haskell is suspected of dismembering the victims and attempting to dispose of their remains in garbage bags. Mei Haskell's torso was found in a dumpster, but her parents' remains have yet to be located.
Haskell has been appearing shirtless in court due to concerns of self-harm, a measure his lawyer has criticized as 'wild speculation' and 'dehumanizing'.
Authorities arrested Haskell after day laborers he hired to remove bags from his property reported finding human body parts. Surveillance footage also allegedly shows Haskell disposing of a bag in a dumpster.
If convicted, Haskell faces a maximum sentence of life in prison without parole.
