BP Execs Might Get Charged With Manslaughter
Wednesday, March 30, 2011

It's hard to say it, but people make mistakes. And while I don't have all the evidence, I think it is a real scary precedent to start charging executives for accidents they probably had little or no direct control over.

Is 'righting the wrongs' through our imperfect justice system all about making the victims feel better? I don't think so. Our system of justice as flawed as it is should punish the individuals who caused the harm, through our tort or criminal courts. Yes, the persons responsible for the deaths of these eleven people should be prosecuted for negligent homicide.
