For years, support from Iran, Hezbollah and Russia sustained Assad. But Russia has been drained and distracted by war in Ukraine. Iran and Hezbollah have taken a drubbing from Israel. That opened the door for HTS to launch its decisive assault against the Assad regime, which became another unintended casualty of Sinwar's genocidal dream. read more

In a conversation with TechCrunch, Bill Gates said that NFTs (non-fungible tokens) and digital currencies were, "100 percent based on greater fool theory." Or, as Warren Buffett said in 2020, "Cryptocurrencies basically have no value. You can't do anything with it except sell it to somebody else."
The point Gates, Buffett, and various economists make is that crypto offers no "real-world" value. Thus, cryptocurrency is simply a bubble in which people try to out-fool each other. It's nothing more than a money-making scheme to buy and sell higher. When people get wise to this fact, crypto is going to collapse.

He did not need to kill that man to defend himself.

No, he did not need to kill him. And it doesn't look like that was his intention.
But from the jury instructions for criminally negligent homicide, I don't think the prosecution had a leg to stand on. Certainly not enough to meet the "beyond a reasonable doubt" standard.
A person acts with CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE with respect to a death when that person engages in blameworthy conduct so serious that it creates or contributes to a substantial and unjustifiable risk that another person's death will occur, and when he or she fails to perceive that risk, and when the risk is of such nature and degree that failure to perceive it constitutes a gross deviation from the standard of care that a reasonable person would observe in the situation.
You may notice from that definition that CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE is not the same type of negligence you may be familiar with from a civil lawsuit seeking a money judgment. The carelessness required for criminal negligence is appreciably more serious; it must be such that its seriousness would be apparent to anyone who shares the community's general sense of right and wrong.
