In the case above, could questions have been;
Did the pilot take into the cockpit a camera? Is this permitted to be used during flight?
Did camera cause the aircraft to plummet?
Did the pilot own up to the incident to help the investigators determine the cause saving time, money and helping the victims?
I find in today's world that honour, integrity and taking responsibility for one's actions are being hidden behind get out clauses in the legal world. Just an opinion mind.
Justice and law are not always coincident. Serving a sentence does not always relieve the feeling of guilt.
