Nothing quite like blaming people and then prosecuting everybody that you can stick a charge on. Quite how this will advance the cause of safety I'll never know - it's a bit like screwing for virginity or imprisoning people in the cause of freedom! Don't you just love fair and just societies!
Sort of a question I was going to ask. Seems to me this will hamper any "questioning" of anyone within a hundred miles of the accident. Why just ten, could they not go farther up the chain?
Always a big issue between criminal and civil liability in matters such as these. I have pretty much always understood that unless someone seriously went out of their way to kill others it was to be a civil matter.
Accidents are certainly a combination of things, but rarely intent to do harm is one of them.
Anybody??
