For many hope is money.

Prized Horse Is Led Out of Stall and Butchered in Florida

The authorities suspect the show jumper, Phedras de Blondel, had been killed for meat. His legs and much of his shoulders had been cut off.

The prosecutors are overreaching.  The charges should be depraved indifference and not murder two.

Volkswagen Investigation Focus to Include Managers Who Turned a Blind Eye

A person briefed on the Volkswagen inquiry said it is going beyond those responsible for installing illegal software to include managers who may have learned of the deception and failed to take appropriate action.

The prosecutors are far from finished.
They have not looked to the board of directors.
