Martin Shkreli will have his federal securities fraud trial separated from that of his former counsel and co-defendant Evan Greebel, US District Judge Kiyo Matsumoto wrote in an order filed Wednesday . Further Reading Turing’s reviled Shkreli indicted for securities fraud over “Ponzi-like” scheme [Updated] Shkreli and Greebel were jointly indicted by the FBI in December of 2015 on allegations that they ran an elaborate Ponzi-like scheme to defraud investors of hedge funds that Shkreli formerly managed and siphoned $11 million in assets from Shkreli’s former biopharmaceutical company, Retrophin. Since then, both Shkreli and Greebel have pled 'not guilty' and asked the court to have their trials separated. They have made it clear that they intend to point fingers at each other in the cases. Shkreli’s defense will essentially argue that he committed no crime because he lacked requisite intent and relied on his trusted counsel, Greebel.

The new Google Docs Google Photos is now the place for your documents. Derrek Lee 19 Apr 2021 0 Source: Hayato Huseman / Android Central What you need to know Google Photos is rolling out with a new "documents" category.

The Supreme Court creates a new religious aristocracy
The Supreme Court has just created an aristocracy of the religious, who now can plausibly demand the right to defy almost any law. The Court has sometimes been willing to accommodate conscientious objectors, but its earlier decisions were nothing like what it has now done. By the Court’s logic, human sacrifice now presents a hard case, with a colorable argument for its protection. Tandon v. Newsom was a 5-4 decision against California's COVID-19 order limiting more than three households from gathering in homes. The Court declared that laws can’t be applied to religious objectors so long as the state “treats some comparable secular activities more favorably.” Some regard this as a de facto return to the old rule, in effect from 1963 to 1990, that religious conscientious objectors have a right to accommodation where that’s reasonably possible.

IPL 2021 by Cricbuzz Staff • Last updated on Live Score Updates Rajasthan Royals Chennai Super Kings Rajasthan Royals opt to bowl Live Scores Full Scorecard Share Tweet Match officials will keep a close on CSK's over-rates. © BCCI Welcome to Battle Royale, battle of the wicket-keepers! MS Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings are rejuvenated after a convincing win over Punjab Kings. Their bowlers were disciplined the other day but they got to watch their punctuality too because one more slow over-rate offence could mean their captain will have to sit out for a few games. CSK have a potent bowling line-up when there is grass and movement on offer with the new ball, but if it's a flat surface like their first game against Delhi Capitals they do have a bit of worry. Faf, Moeen, Curran, Bravo have been the four overseas players so far. Is Dhoni keen on getting Ngidi back to increase the pace battery?
