question:Article: NBC is the latest network to jump on the true crime bandwagon. On Wednesday the network announced it is partnering with super-producer Dick Wolf for a true crime spinoff of the "Law & Order" franchise. The first, eight-episode season of the anthology series will focus on the notorious case of Erik and Lyle Menendez, who were eventually convicted of the 1989 murder of their wealthy parents. Similar to the trial of O.J. Simpson, which was dramatized in FX's widely praised anthology series "American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson," the Menendez case was a media sensation in the early to mid-'90s, and the trial was broadcast on Court TV, captivating much of the nation. Lyle and Erik were just 18 and 21, respectively, at the time of the murders, and grew up in an affluent Cuban American family. The brothers argued that they had been the victims of sexual, physical and mental abuse at the hands of their parents. The series is the latest offering in a growing trend of true crime fare on the small screen, including "The Jinx" and "Making a Murderer." It also adds to Wolf's ever-expanding fiefdom at NBC, which includes "Law & Order: SVU," now in its 17th season, "Chicago Fire," "Chicago P.D." and "Chicago Med." In a press statement, Wolf said he was "excited to extend the franchise with a scripted limited anthology series that focuses on a high-profile trial. There is no shortage of compelling real-life criminal cases, and the Menendez trial was more scintillating than most crime fiction.” The Menendez case was also made into a television movie, "Menendez: Killing in Beverly Hills" in 1994.

NBC is getting into the true crime business. Fresh off the finale of FX's The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story, NBC announced Wednesday that it is developing its own true crime anthology series with prolific producer Dick Wolf. Like Ryan Murphy's American Crime Story, the project will focus on a different real-life crime every season. Titled Law & Order: True Crime — The Menendez Brothers, the first eight-episode season of the project will focus specifically on brothers Lyle and Erik Menendez, who were convicted of murdering their parents and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole in 1996. The brothers, who were 21 and 18 years old, respectively, at the time of the murders, were tried separately but eventually found guilty in a third trial after no verdicts were rendered in the first two trials because of hung juries. Defense attorney Leslie Abramson represented the brothers during all three trials and claimed that they had suffered a lifetime of abuse from their parents. Their father, Jose Menendez, was accused of sexual abuse as well as being unusually cruel while their mother, Kitty Menendez, was accused of being mentally unstable, with a violent history of drug and alcohol abuse. However, jurors believed the brothers killed their parents to inherit their money. Jose and Kitty were found murdered in their Beverly Hills home in August 1989. The brothers were arrested six months later and are both still serving life sentences in the California Department of Corrections. Like the Simpson trial, the Menendez brothers trial became an early hit for then-burgeoning cable channel CourtTV. The case was also the basis for a 1994 film in which Edward James Olmos and Beverly D'Angelo played the victims. Like American Crime Story, the events surrounding the murders and subsequent trials will be recreated for the NBC series. True crime series have been a hot trend on the small screen, thanks to other success stories, such as HBO's True Detective. Season one of American Crime Story, more commonly known as The People v. O.J. Simpson, has been averaging 7.7 million viewers. True crime docuseries have also carved a niche thanks to HBO's The Jinx and more recently Netflix's Making a Murderer. Wolf will executive produce the project through his Wolf Entertainment banner in association with Universal Television. If picked up to series, this would mark his fifth at NBC, joining Law & Order: SVU, Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D. and Chicago Med. Wolf has also a fourth Chicago show, Chicago Justice, in development, as well as unscripted series You the Jury. The series are part of his lengthy overall deal at the network, which extends to 2020. The extension of the Law & Order brand comes a year after talks stalled on a revival of the long-running drama series, which was canceled in 2010. The Emmy-winning series was known for ripped-from-the-headlines storylines, with a season-one episode based on the Menendez case. “We’ve been talking with Dick about how to create an event series coming out of the Law & Order ripped-from-the-headlines brand," NBC Entertainment president Jennifer Salke said Wednesday in a statement. "This case captured the public’s attention like nothing before it as it examined taboo issues such as patricide and matricide in gruesome detail, all against a backdrop of privilege and wealth. We will recreate the cultural and societal surroundings of both the murders and trials when people were not only obsessed with the case but examining how and why these brothers committed these heinous crimes.” Wolf added: “[NBC chief Bob Greenblatt], Jen and I have been focused on the natural evolution of the Law & Order brand for the last several years and are excited to extend the franchise with a scripted limited anthology series that focuses on a high-profile trial. There is no shortage of compelling real-life criminal cases, and the Menendez trial was more scintillating than most crime fiction.” ||||| What is a summary?

question:Question: I have a test where I am given the following article, what is an answer for the question: What was the last name of the person who was a tax collector? ? The identity of the donor has not been established, although a number of suggestions have been advanced over the last 200 years. Harbison suggests the work's small scale indicates that it functioned as a portable altarpiece rather than as a private devotional work, and thus was commissioned by or for a member of the clergy. Other art historians have argued that the donor may have been a Genoese merchant. This belief has been fed by the triptych's similarity to Giovanni Mazone's Virgin and Child altarpiece in Pontremoli, Tuscany, which may place it in the Italian region of Liguria at latest by the end of the 15th century. Damaged coats of arms on the inner frames have been linked to the Giustiniani family, known for establishing trade links with Bruges in the 14th and 15th centuries. If not commissioned by that family, historical record place the work at least in their possession by the end of the century. In the early 1800s, Frances Weale attempted to place Michele Giustiniani as the donor, however later historical research has been unable to verify his presence in Bruges around 1437, and he seems to have returned to Italy by 1430.Mid-twentieth century technical examination revealed the Giustiniani coats of arms may have been painted over an earlier heraldic design, perhaps as early as the 15th century, whose signifiance and history is now lost. Dhanens theorises that a member of the Giustiniani family may have established other associations with St. Michael and St. Catherine, advancing that they were a member of the Italian Rapondi family, whose trading house in Paris was named after St. Catherine. Their daughter, also named Catherine, married the Italian merchant Michel Burlamacchi (Bollemard in Flemish) from Lucca, who was active in Bruges. From this Dhanens theorises the piece was commissioned as a wedding gift for the couple. Documents show weavers in Wervik paid taxes to Catherine Rapondi and in September 1434, when Michele Burlamacchi was tax collector in that town, van Eyck received a stipend funded... Answer:
answer:Burlamacchi
question:Read this and answer the question. If the question is unanswerable, say "unanswerable". In 2006, a study by Behar et al., based on what was at that time high-resolution analysis of haplogroup K (mtDNA), suggested that about 40% of the current Ashkenazi population is descended matrilineally from just four women, or "founder lineages", that were "likely from a Hebrew/Levantine mtDNA pool" originating in the Middle East in the 1st and 2nd centuries CE. Additionally, Behar et al. suggested that the rest of Ashkenazi mtDNA is originated from ~150 women, and that most of those were also likely of Middle Eastern origin. In reference specifically to Haplogroup K, they suggested that although it is common throughout western Eurasia, "the observed global pattern of distribution renders very unlikely the possibility that the four aforementioned founder lineages entered the Ashkenazi mtDNA pool via gene flow from a European host population". The women that a large percentage of the current Ashkenazi population is descended from are also known as what?
answer:The women that a large percentage of the current Ashkenazi population is descended from are known as "founder lineages."
