    “Corporate death penalty” is not that much of a punishment. Humans committed crimes, but will essentially only have their income reduced.

    How about some sentencing for the people who made the decisions? They willingly did things knowing they would endanger, ruin and end lives.

    If you endanger a life or cause someone to he killed, there’s specific crimes you’d get tried for.

      I agree that jail time would be good to see, but with an organisation like this, it’s often hard to pin something on any one individual.

        Everyone who held a title from the SVP level and up, plus all the owners and board of directors from the moment Oxy was put on the market. These are people who could have stopped the problem, but each are complicit in making it worse for piles of money.

        Also, each and every doctor who took a “commission” for prescribing Oxy.
