Read the article here.
The head line summarizes the entire situation: "Seven scientists and other experts went on trial on manslaughter charges Tuesday for allegedly failing to sufficiently warn residents before a devastating earthquake that killed more than 300 people in central Italy in 2009."
This is one of the biggest bullshit moments I've ever seen in recent years. It is also a very dangerous, very slippery slope. On one hand we can throw the argument on it's head and say, "Well, why don't we put on trial every police officer and precinct for all of the deaths and crime that have happened because of and in spite of them?"
But at the same time, you wonder how many people would actually want to go through with this.
/SIGH
