That’s sort of the whole point of corporations, that the law views them as their own entity which can be held culpable for its own actions, as opposed to the people running the corporation.
Yeah, and this case, it should. The thing I have some issue withis that corps usually don’t just create a situation with limited financial liability, but with limited criminal liability.
In my world, this is fine, you get sued, company pays. But if you poison a river, and the decisionmakers are at least criminally negligent like the US train company that poisoned a town, they should go to jail.
