La Crosse man pleads not guilty of stabbing and killing victim 44 times
The suspect in a La Crosse stabbing death from December of 2023 is headed to trial, following a court hearing this week.
Bryant Q. Smith entered a not guilty plea on charges of stabbing Timothy Salis 44 times, after the two of them had been drinking.
The attack occurred at the Stokke Tower in downtown La Crosse.
Smith, 51, claims he stabbed Salis in self defense, because the victim was drunk and trying to choke him.
A pre-trial hearing is scheduled for September, but no trial date has been set.

Headline: “……stabbing and killing victim 44 times”. Guy’s name was Lazarus? To be killed 44 times is a new record.
