The daughter of the first CIA director has been found guilty of murder after stabbing her boyfriend while under the influence of alcohol

The Associated Press reported that the daughter of former CIA Director John Negroponte has been found guilty of stabbing to death a 24-year-old man after a drunken fight at a Maryland home.
 
  A Montgomery County jury convicted Sophia Negroponte, 29, of second-degree murder in the death of Youssef Rasmussen in February 2020, and she faces up to 40 years in prison, and she will be sentenced on March 31.
 
  Sophia Negroponte is one of five orphaned or abandoned children from Honduras who were adopted by John Negroponte and his wife after he was appointed US ambassador to the Central American country in the 1980s, according to the Washington Post.
 
  Sophia and Rasmussen were in the same high school in Washington and were drinking with someone else the night Rasmussen was killed, according to Montgomery County District Attorney John McCarthy. They argued twice that night and Rasmussen left, and when he returned to get his phone, Negroponte stabbed him several times, including a fatal stab in the neck.
 
  The defense lawyer asked the jury to take into account that Sophia Negroponte was so drunk that night that she did not specify a specific intent for what she did. The jury did not find Negroponte guilty of the most serious charge she faced, premeditated murder in the first degree, according to the newspaper, but they did convict her of second-degree murder, finding that she had intended to inflict such grievous bodily harm on Rasmussen and that death would be the likely outcome.

Authorities said that just over three hours before the fatal stabbing, a 45-year-old man was killed inside Station A on Pitkin and Grant Streets in East New York, Brooklyn.
 
Footage released Friday morning shows the suspect, dressed in a red vest, getting off a black and yellow scooter and starting to run. Cops say he followed his target into the station.
