Karla Barba is on trial for viciously attacking her former fiancé Franklin Larrea with a Samurai sword.
The first EMT on the scene testified that the victim was covered in blood and laying prone on the ground with lacerations on his body so deep you could see bone.
Paramedic Ryan Walsh testified in court that the victim "was covered in blood and every time we tried to pick him up he was just slippery, essentially dead weight, wet dead weight, it was a little challenging." Walsh added, "The victim was obviously sliced with an over-sized knife of some sort."
A police officer who responded to the crime scene compared the gash on the victim's wrist to a peeled banana saying, "Like when you peel a banana. The skin was peeled back it was very deep…it peeled back the skin significantly enough that you could see muscle, fat, and tissue."
According to an article in the New York Post, Barba faces charges of assault, attempted assault and endangering the welfare of a child.
