According to authorities, the motive was the assistant was caught stealing tens of thousands of dollars from the CEO, and, despite the CEO, Fahim Saleh, being kind enough not to prosecute but allow the assistant to make payments on the money he stole, the assistant decided to kill him anyway.
Not too smart in the end.
The assistant is a mere 21 years old.

Mary Trump's book has set records for the first day of sales, but I seriously doubt there is anything in the book I haven't already suspected.
I ordered a hard copy of the book.

This nonsense from a virulent anti-semite. Makes sense to me:
Rick Wiles says that wearing a mask "is the mark that you are part of the Nazis and not wearing a mask is an indication that you are resisting the new Nazism." pic.twitter.com/rlqw44j63o— Right Wing Watch (@RightWingWatch) July 17, 2020

Our government has no business promoting religion.
The United States has always been a secular country.

Obituary: Celebrated civil rights icon and representative John Lewis, 80, has died after a battle with pancreatic cancer.
The son of Alabama sharecroppers, Lewis served in Congress for more than three decades, pushing the causes he championed as an original Freedom Rider challenging segregation, discrimination and injustice in the Deep South – issues reverberating today in the Black Lives Matter movement.
Along with Martin Luther King Jr., he was an organizer of the March on Washington in 1963, a seminal moment in the Civil Rights Movement that led to the passage of voting rights for Blacks two years later.
Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., poses in his office in the Cannon Building in Washington, DC on July 20, 2012. Lewis, a former Freedom Rider and the last surviving major organizer of the March on Washington.
He became a community activist and member of the Atlanta City Council before winning a seat in Congress in 1986. He would go on to become a best-selling author and in 2011 was awarded the nation's highest civilian award, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, by Barack Obama, the nation's first Black president. Lewis was elected to his 17th term in November 2018.
He was a truly great man and statesman. Not many alive today who can fill his shoes.

Juan Martinez, the prosecutor in the Jodi Arias murder case, has been disbarred thanks to numerous instances of misconduct.
Martinez was accused of leaking a juror's name in the Arias case to a blogger with whom he was in a sexual relationship, and then lying to investigators about it. Martinez is also accused of staring at a court reporter during the Arias trial and making comments about her appearance that made her feel uncomfortable._____
"In my opinion this is long overdue. His misconduct goes back years," said Karen Clark, Arias' legal ethics attorney.
A law firm also filed an ethics complaint, claiming Martinez wrote a book about the Arias case while the trial was still going on. They also say he wrote the book on County time and at taxpayers' expense. Martinez was reprimanded by the county prosecutor’s office in 2018 for inappropriate and unprofessional conduct toward female law clerks.
