Manslaughter charges possible for BP execs

[JBeukema]

Manslaughter and perjury are among possible charges that Justice Department investigators are exploring in the early stages of their probe into the Gulf oil spill, people familiar with the inquiry said Tuesday.
These people said the Justice Department is not ruling out the possibility of bringing manslaughter charges against companies or managers responsible for the explosion aboard the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig that killed 11 workers.

I call bull shit.

I am violently opposed to putting people in prison for negligence. Can they prove the execs INTENDED to kill people? If so, hang 'em high. Other than that, let 'em pay through the nose - but this isn't a criminal matter.

Good deal!
