9 people have died in the wake of the Astroworld tragedy. A week on, questions remain over who should be held accountable

In the week since a Houston music festival turned deadly, questions have emerged about who should be held accountable for the nine people who died and the hundreds who were injured.
Audience members at Travis Scott's Astroworld Music Festival described an unruly crowd surge on November 5 that felt like a "death trap," leaving many trampled and struggling to breathe -- and even prompting some to administer CPR on those who passed out.
"I picked some kid up and his eyes rolled to the back of his head, so I checked his pulse. I knew he was dead," concertgoer Billy Nasser said. "I checked the people around me. And I just had to leave him there. There was nothing I could do."
When prosecutors make their final pitch Tuesday to a New York jury for why they should convict Donald Trump of a slew of business crimes, they’ll face the burdensome task of weaving together weeks of testimony and evidence they say proves the former president committed felonies to help his 2016 campaign.
