• A jury will return to Manhattan court on Monday to decide the fate of Tyrese Haspil.
• Haspil said his extreme emotional disturbance led to the brutal slaying of tech CEO Fahim Saleh.
• But Haspil's activity on a dating app undermined that argument, the prosecution said.

A Manhattan jury is about to decide the fate of Tyrese Haspil, the 25-year-old former personal assistant on trial for the brutal murder of his boss, tech CEO Fahim Saleh.

An attorney for Haspil, who has been standing trial in New York Supreme Criminal Court, argued that he was so in love with his girlfriend and terrified that she would leave him, he became extremely emotionally disturbed, leading him to kill Saleh.

But prosecutors said Haspil was active on Bumble, a popular dating app, while he was dating his girlfriend — attempting to undermine claims that he was mad with his love for her at the time of the killing.

During closing arguments at the start of the day, public defender Sam Roberts argued Haspil deserved the jury's "deliberate, comprehensive consideration of why" he slayed his former boss, whose family sat stoically in the pews of the courtroom gallery.

"Why did Tyrese do this terrible, irrevocable thing? Why? That's the only major question," Roberts told the jury, arguing that his client was suffering from extreme emotional disturbance, or EED.

If the jury buys it, Haspil would be guilty of manslaughter instead of murder, significantly reducing his prison sentence.

Saleh was the CEO of Gokada, a ride-hailing and delivery service Gokada based in Nigeria.

Saleh's cousin found him beheaded and dismembered in his $2.4 million Lower Manhattan condo on July 14, 2020.

Haspil, his former personal assistant, admitted after his arrest to stabbing Saleh to death to hide a $400,000 embezzlement, and then sawing him into six pieces to hide his corpse.

Roberts tried to convince the jury that, for Haspil, the thought of potentially being abandoned by his girlfriend was "worse than the thought of killing this innocent person." Haspil was so compelled by "his first real relationship" with Marine Chauveau, who was about to return to France upon her visa's expiration, that he had to embezzle his boss's money to shower her with gifts for her birthday.

"However warped it may seem to us," Roberts said, "for Tyrese, Marine was his whole world."

Haspil had spent years embezzling from Saleh, who was giving him a chance to pay the money back without getting the police involved. Those thefts spiked when he got into the relationship, Roberts told the jury, referencing a graph of the embezzlements over time.

In his extremely emotionally disturbed state, Haspil believed homicide was his only path forward because "it would provide a little more time" with his girlfriend before he would inevitably go to prison for embezzlement, Roberts said.

When it was the government's turn to make closing arguments, prosecutor Linda Ford popped the love bubble.

Not only did Haspil plan the murder months in advance, Ford argued, but he was also on Bumble while he was supposedly obsessively in love with his girlfriend.

"This is about his lifestyle," Ford said, underscoring how Haspil lived in a penthouse and traveled by helicopter before he even met Chauveau. "This is not about a birthday party. This is about murdering Fahim Saleh."

After closing arguments, Judge April Newbauer told the jury they would begin deliberations Monday morning.

• Kate Middleton celebrated Prince William's birthday by sharing a photo of him and their children.
• The picture was more relaxed and candid than photos they'd previously shared of their family.
• Experts told Business Insider that the photo's tone may help shift the narrative on Will and Kate.

After months of turmoil, the tides finally appear to be turning in Prince William and Kate Middleton's favor.

Following a planned abdominal surgery in January, months of chemotherapy that began in February, and speculation about her well-being amid her extended absence from the public eye, Kate made a triumphant return to royal duty when she attended Trooping the Colour on Saturday.

Her appearance marked a shift in the Prince and Princess of Wales' public image, as Kate and William were photographed as a united front for the first time since 2023.

The couple seemed to build on that momentum on Friday when Kate celebrated William's birthday with a surprisingly candid photo of him and their three children on their social media channels.

The lighthearted photo was a welcome change from the more formal approach they've taken to their public relations strategy in the past.

Kate and William shared a photo of the prince with his children for his birthday

In the photo, Princess Charlotte, Prince William, Prince Louis, and Prince George jump in the air on a beach, each sporting a big smile.

According to the picture's caption, which the Princess of Wales signed herself, Kate took the photo sometime in 2024.

"Happy birthday Papa, we all love you so much! Cx," the caption read.

The picture's background looked similar to a shot the Prince and Princess of Wales shared for Father's Day on Sunday, in which William stood with his arms around his children as they looked to the sea.

William and Kate have not acknowledged the Prince of Wales' birthday on their social media channels since 2021, and the last time they celebrated his birthday with candid family photos was 2020.

The photo they posted on Friday showed a silly and carefree side of the royals — particularly William — offering a stark contrast from photos like their posed 2023 Christmas card or even some of Kate and William's wedding photos.

The photo exudes positivity at a time when the royals need it

William and Kate often took a more traditional approach to their public image since they became a public couple, following decades-old royal practices such as avoiding public displays of affection.

Since 2021, they have tried to exude a more relatable image, but few photos have nailed it as well as their most recent post.

Eric Schiffer, the chairman of Reputation Management Consultants, told Business Insider that the photo was a great move for the Prince and Princess of Wales' PR strategy.

"It projects strength, positivity, and resilience," he said of the photo. "It's a photo of a family united and strong irrespective of challenges and a nice strategic change that is inspiring and uplifting."

Kristen Meinzer, a royal watcher, told BI that the photo humanized William, in particular, in a new way.

"I think it's a really fun photo that shows a lot more personality than we normally see from William," she said. "I love the joyful energy and the fact that everyone feels alive and in motion."

However, Meinzer also said it "would have been nice to see a photo that also included Kate."

Kensington Palace has not released a new photo of William and Kate together in 2024, though they were photographed at Trooping the Colour.

"After all, birthdays are about celebrating life, and his life isn't just about fatherhood; it's also about being a husband," Meinzer said.

But Schiffer said presenting William as a parent first and foremost may be better long-term.

It's a strong move to paint William as a dutiful father

By intentionally posting a photo of William with just his children, Kate and William are sending a message that he is a father first — a father who is capable of stepping up for his children while their mother focuses on her health.

"I think it also highlights the fact that Kate doesn't have to do it all," Schiffer said.

"William can step up and be a dad and allow her to also have time for managing her health challenges, which is a mature message and will create even more connection with audiences," he said.

"This highlights the fact that Kate has a partner who is a strong father and can keep the family uplifted and united," he added.

Likewise, many members of the public may find William relatable as a father and leader in his family, which makes him seem like a future king "with a heart who cares, who is going to have his partner's back and will do the same for the country," Schiffer said.

Kate shared an update on her health on June 14, saying that she will be undergoing chemotherapy for a few more months but that she hopes to attend a handful of royal engagements over the summer.

Although William will continue to represent his family in person alone for a few more months, Kate's latest photo helps establish him as a normal, doting father who is more than prepared to protect the Wales brand until his wife returns to share the burden with him.

• Some Tesla and Starlink customers have said service at Elon Musk's companies needs to be improved.
• Despite Tesla's success, customers' complaints could tarnish the reputation of the business.  
• Here's a look at how to contact a human at Tesla customer support. 

As the carmaker ferociously grew sales, its footprint of Tesla service centers hasn't kept pace, resulting in long wait times and other customer service issues for some Tesla owners.

It's often difficult to reach an actual person when contacting the customer support services at big companies. But chat and other hacks can help a Tesla customer get help and report a problem.

Does Tesla have 24/7 customer service? 

Yes, Tesla has roadside assistance that is available 24/7. 

According to Tesla's website, you can request immediate roadside assistance from the bottom of the Tesla app home screen. In your request, include any information that may help our team locate you and best understand the condition of your vehicle.

To request roadside assistance from your Tesla app:

1. Open the app and select 'Roadside.'
2. Select the issue(s) your vehicle is experiencing.
3. Confirm any additional details related to your request.
4. Select 'Request help.'

Services covered include breakdowns, flat tires, lockouts, and depleted batteries. 

How do you report a problem at Tesla?

To chat with Tesla support directly, you can use the chat function on their site. You can also call their support line at 1 888-518-3752. Reaching a human on the support phone line can be difficult, but if you call from a number not associated with a Tesla account, the prompts will offer you options to reach a person, including charging questions, vehicle and software issues, or password and account issues.

Does Tesla have good customer service?

Although Tesla stock is valued at more than $600 billion and as of January 2023, SpaceX was valued at $137 billion, experts said customers' complaints could tarnish the SpaceX and Tesla's reputation.

Tesla complaints have rolled in from customers about fixing repairs, lack of contact, and long wait times.

A class-action lawsuit is currently underway in California regarding arduous and expensive Tesla repairs. A group of Tesla owners allege that Tesla is monopolizing the market for repairs and parts for its vehicles, forcing customers to endure extensive repair times and costly parts — all under threat of losing their warranty coverage if they sought repairs or service from companies other than Tesla.

In court documents, Tesla denied the antitrust allegations and said its warranties and practices were "perfectly lawful."

Twelve electric vehicle owners previously spoke to Business Insider about problems with Tesla vehicles. Some commented on how slow and unresponsive Tesla's customer service was, while others said it was quick and easy.

Customer Steven Banks told Business Insider that simple repairs have left his car stranded at the Tesla shop for weeks. He doesn't feel like Tesla treats its customers as well as other luxury dealerships do and is frustrated that he can't get a customer service rep on the phone. Banks is a longtime Tesla fan in Massachusetts who sold his Model S and has a new Model Y on the way. 

"The customer service is lousy," Banks said. "They get away with it because the products are fantastic."

• I recently spent 30 hours on an Amtrak train traveling from New York City to Miami in 2021.
• I found the ride to be rough and bumpy, with far too much time spent in a cramped space.
• But if you value the journey as much as the destination, you might enjoy the ride.

I've traveled on several overnight trains, but I'll never forget my first time.

As a travel reporter who doesn't particularly enjoy flying, I thought I'd try an alternative mode of transportation for a trip from NYC to Miami in 2021.

Even though the train ride was more expensive than a typical economy flight to Miami and took 10 times longer, I booked a private room with two beds and a toilet on an Amtrak sleeper train for $500.

But I didn't anticipate how poorly the constant motion and length of the trip would make me feel.

My journey began at Moynihan Train Hall at Penn Station in NYC.

Waiting at the train station felt a lot like waiting in an airport but with less security. My train ticket got me into the waiting room, where I sat until it was time to board.

Once it was time to board, I learned that sleeper cars are at the back of the train.

The sleeper cars are right behind the dining car.

Once on the train, I walked down the narrow corridor of three sleeper cars to find my room.

The corridor was so narrow that you could only walk down it single file.

Called a Roomette, this tiny, private suite is the cheapest way to travel by Amtrak if you want a bed.

A step up from sitting in coach, where you get a regular train seat, a roomette is a private space with a door and blinds to cover up the windows.

Inside, there are two seats across from each other, a table that folds out in between, and a bed above the seats that pulls down. The seats also pull out into a bed.

In some Roomettes (mine included), there's a side table that swings open to reveal a toilet. Above, there's a folding sink and mirror.

With the seat down and the sink folded up, you'd never know there was a bathroom in the room.

With two seats to a Roomette and no privacy curtain around the toilet, I was grateful to be a solo traveler.

There was no privacy for those traveling in pairs.

I recommend bringing Poo Pouri with you if you plan to take a similar trip.

A decade ago, I may have had a bigger problem with the toilet situation next to my bed in the Roomette. But, thankfully, I had packed some Poo Pourri, a spray that goes in the toilet just before you poop to eliminate odors.

Due to availability when I booked my ticket, I had to switch to another Roomette that didn't have a toilet but still had a sink partway through my trip.

There was a bathroom at the back of the sleeper car where I could use the toilet.

The room had storage features that reminded me of a tiny home, like a pullout table between the chairs.

The table had two foldout leaves, too, for more space. 

One thing that surprised me about the Roomette was the variety of lighting options, which seemed to be more than what you'd get in economy on a flight.

In addition to the ceiling light, each seat had its own area light, reading light, and night light. I counted 11 light switches in my Roomette.

I was also surprised to be able to control the temperature inside my Roomette.

My Roomette had a temperature dial and air conditioning vents, and I kept it cool in my room, around 66 degrees Fahrenheit.

When the train started moving, I noticed it was a bumpy ride, like a flight when the seat belt sign is on. I figured this was temporary, but I thought the whole ride was shaky.

When I stood up to walk through the train cars, I felt like I was on an airplane during turbulence. It felt like this the whole journey, and I ended up feeling motion sickness for the majority of the trip. 

Since my train ride felt bumpy, I tried not to leave my room too much. But come dinner time, I decided to head to the dining cart.

Even though eating in my room was an option, I didn't want it to smell like food in my bunk all night. 

Since I got a Roomette, my ticket came with a meal, and I thought it wasn't too bad.

I had braised short ribs, mashed potatoes, and a hard roll. While I didn't love the meal as it came, I made a little sandwich out of the ingredients, which tasted better to me. 

When it was time for bed, I chose to sleep on the top bunk to experience what it was like.

The room's seats fold out into a bed on the bottom level, but I wanted to try sleeping up top. 

The bed was suspended in the air, and there were blankets wrapped in plastic that I found surprisingly soft and comfortable. 

I thought the bed was comfy enough, but throughout the day, the shaking was much worse on the top bunk than in the seats.

As I nestled into a sleeping position, I listened to the choo choo of the train whistle and pretended I was on the Polar Express until I finally fell asleep. 

I woke up a few times in the night feeling disoriented, and I had to remind myself where I was. There were also times when I was worried I might fall out of bed.

While I didn't sleep well, I enjoyed waking up to the sun rising over Georgia.

Even though I didn't sleep well, I'm glad I went with the top bunk because of the views I had in the morning. 

I woke up at around 8 a.m. with about 11 hours left on my journey.

I passed a lot of the time working. 

I used my Nintendo Switch, watched movies I had previously downloaded, and did work to fill the time.

While the train had internet, I found the connection to be unreliable. So I was glad I had downloaded movies, TV shows, and podcasts to my phone and iPad before my trip.

I was so grateful when I finally arrived in Miami and decided that long train journeys weren't for the faint of heart.

Since 2021, I've gotten more comfortable on overnight trains and have learned to appreciate them.

In my opinion, taking a long train journey is a lot like taking a road trip — if you consider the ride a part of the vacation, then maybe it would be worth it for you.

• Documentaries like "Tell Them You Love Me" and "Black Barbie" are newly streaming.
• You can also catch up on new episodes of "Hart to Heart" and "My Life Is Murder."

There are a lot of new documentaries to watch if you're looking for a true story to dive into.

Netflix has a few titles to add to your watch list, including "Black Barbie," a doc produced by Shonda Rhimes about the creation of the first Black Barbie doll. Over on Hulu, there's "Perfect Wife: The Mysterious Disappearance of Sherri Papini," about an apparent kidnapping with a twist.

But if you'd rather indulge in something fictional, you can check out the premiere of "Orphan Black: Echoes," a spinoff of the beloved sci-fi series, or the new season of the mystery-dramedy "My Life is Murder."

Here's a complete rundown of all the best movies, shows, and documentaries to stream this weekend, broken down by what kind of entertainment you're looking for.

For an uplifting history lesson, watch "Black Barbie"…

"Black Barbie," produced by Shonda Rhimes and directed by Lagueria Davis, explores how three Black women working at Mattel — Beulah Mae Mitchell, Kitty Black Perkins, and Stacey McBride-Irby — were responsible for the debut of the groundbreaking doll in 1980. The new Barbie ultimately paved the way for the representation of all identities.

…or "Outstanding: A Comedy Revolution."

Comic-turned-director Page Hurwitz's new doc, which recently premiered at Tribeca before streaming on Netflix, looks back at the history of LGBTQ+ stand-up comedy as a form of resistance. It features comedians including Lily Tomlin, Margaret Cho, and Rosie O'Donnell.

Streaming on: Netflix

Tennis fans should watch "Federer: 12 Final Days."

Particularly if you're a Federer fan, this doc is a must-watch. But really, any sports fan will appreciate this look into the final days of the superstar athlete's career, from his retirement announcement in 2022 to his last match.

Streaming on: Prime Video

For some messy reality TV drama, check out the "Perfect Match" finale.

Netflix's messiest reality dating show dropped its finale this week. It featured a surprising winning couple and more last-minute drama for Harry Jowsey and "Love Is Blind" alum Jessica Vestal.

For a true-crime fix, tune into "Perfect Wife: The Mysterious Disappearance of Sherri Papini"…

This three-part docuseries tells the story of Sherri Papini's kidnapping hoax and its aftermath.

Unlike the disturbing tale at the heart of Netflix's "American Nightmare," Papini's actually was a real-life "Gone Girl" case.

Streaming on: Hulu

…or "Tell Them You Love Me."

This is one of the most disturbing documentaries I've seen in a minute.

"Tell Them You Love Me" explores the complex and controversial story of Anna Stubblefield, a married white professor of ethics at Rutgers University-Newark, and Derrick Johnson, the nonverbal Black man with cerebral palsy she was convicted of sexually assaulting.

Streaming on: Netflix

If you're into cult history, watch "Cult Massacre: One Day in Jonestown."

Long before NXIVM and Twin Flames, there was Peoples Temple.

Arguably the most famous cult in American history, it was founded by Jim Jones in the 1950s in Indianapolis and culminated in the horrific Jonestown massacre of 1978, in which the cult leader ordered his followers to drink Kool-Aid laced with cyanine. In total, 918 people died, including more than 300 kids.

The new Hulu documentary features interviews with several survivors of the event, some of whom argue that the tragedy should be seen as a mass murder, not a mass suicide as it's commonly been labeled.

Streaming on: Hulu

The new season of "Hart to Heart" is out now.

The fourth season of Kevin Hart's talk show kicks off with the comedian's interview with Ben Affleck.

Streaming on: Acorn TV

Sci-fi fans should check out "Orphan Black: Echoes."

If you were a fan of the original "Orphan Black," the Canadian sci-fi thriller that starred Tatiana Maslany as several genetically identical human clones, this one is a no-brainer.

But even if you weren't familiar with the earlier series and just like the genre, "Echoes" is worth checking out. It stars Keeley Hawes as an older version of Kira Manning, the daughter of Maslany's character Sarah from the original show, and Krysten Ritter as Lucy, a woman with amnesia who finds herself at the center of her own clone mystery.

Streaming on: AMC+

The latest episode of "The Boys" is a must-watch.

The fourth episode of the satirical superhero drama's new season is a standout, largely thanks to Antony Starr's stunning performance as Homelander, who returns to the lab where he was raised.

Seriously, just give the man an Emmy already. We only have one season left to do it after this!

• I worked at Disney World for several years, and now I visit the theme parks once a week.
• Over the years, I've learned not to buy Genie+ or dessert party tickets at the parks.
• I also don't tend to waste money on chicken nuggets or Loungefly bags. 

As an Orlando local and former Disney World employee, I visit the parks at least once a week.

But without the free admission and plentiful discounts that came with my employee status, visiting has become incredibly expensive. According to FinanceBuzz, concession prices alone have gone up by 61% since 2014.

Like many people, I've had to cut down on my spending over the years. Here are eight things I'm no longer buying at Disney World.

Spirit jerseys should be left in the 2010s.

I remember when spirit jerseys were all the rage back in 2017 — you could barely get your hands on one before they sold out.

But as they've gained popularity, they've also increased in price.

As cute as they may be, I can't fathom spending upwards of $90 on a long-sleeve T-shirt.

I don't need any more Mickey ears.

Every Disney adult loves accessorizing their outfits with some Mickey ears.

It can be tempting to browse the new and seasonal releases in the shops. But after going to the parks my whole life, I already have a stellar ear collection.

I don't see the point of spending $35 to $40 on another pair — especially because they were closer to $20 to $25 just a few years ago.

Genie+ isn't worth it for me.

I remember the good old days when I would go to Disney World and automatically get three FastPasses for the day. It was glorious.

Now you have to pay $20 to $30 a person daily for those same three line-skipping passes through a system called Genie+.

As a local who has ridden every attraction at Disney World dozens of times, I don't see why I'd ever splurge on that.

The ice-cream bars aren't a good value.

The Mickey ice-cream bar was one of my go-to park snacks as a kid. It's such a Disney staple — super tasty and good for any Instagram photos.

But they currently cost about $6. I'd rather spend that money on a bigger portion of ice cream, like a Dole Whip or a sundae, to get more bang for my buck.

I avoid the Loungefly section of the gift shops.

Like the spirit jerseys, I'm no longer spending money on Disney Loungeflys. No small backpack should cost over $100 — no matter how creative or cute the design is.

It's so easy for me to go into a Disney merchandise store and get sucked into this section, but I've recently realized that these prices are ridiculous.

I worked at the dessert parties, so I don't feel the need to buy the extra ticket.

I used to work at the Magic Kingdom Fireworks Dessert Party back in 2018, when it cost about $80 to $90 a person. That's still a pretty expensive ticket add-on, but I genuinely thought it was worth the price.

The experience includes unlimited appetizers, treats, and drinks, along with a premiere viewing of the fireworks show from Tomorrowland Terrace.

But now the price for one adult is $130, which is almost the same as park admission.

Alternatively, I recommend paying $70 a person for a delicious three-course dinner at Be Our Guest restaurant. Then just go to hub lawns in front of the castle about an hour before the fireworks show to secure an amazing spot.

The annual Christmas party has gotten too expensive for me.

I've always been such a big fan of the seasonal events at Disney World. I used to go to the Christmas and Halloween parties at Magic Kingdom every year.

But that was when the tickets cost about $100. In 2023, tickets sold for up to $220 apiece, which is more expensive than the average full-day ticket to Magic Kingdom.

As sad as it was to cut this out of my holiday celebrations last year, I had to. I can't rationalize spending over $200 for a six-hour event in the parks.

I can get something better than chicken nuggets.

Almost every quick-service restaurant at Disney World has a chicken-finger meal, and it used to be one of my go-to orders.

But as an adult, I'm realizing that it's kind of a waste of my money — especially since prices across the parks have been creeping up over the last couple of years.

I'd rather spend my money on specialty treats or seasonal foods that I can't get outside the parks and grab Chick-fil-A on the way home.
