The man accused in the 2017 slaying of a Nebraska woman slashed his neck and fell from a wheelchair during his murder trial Monday.
Fifty-two-year-old Aubrey Trail yelled “Bailey is innocent, and I curse you all” before swiping something across his neck in the courtroom in Wilber.
Deputies rushed to help as Trail lay bleeding on the floor.
It is unclear when the trial will resume, or how badly Trail is injured.
Authorities say he’s had a stroke and two heart attacks since his arrest.
Trail and 25-year-old Bailey Boswell are charged with first-degree murder in the killing and dismemberment of 24-year-old Sydney Loofe.
Prosecutors say the pair planned Loofe’s abduction and killing .
Trail’s attorney says her death was an accident during a consensual sex fantasy.
Boswell is awaiting trial.
