re: #237 jaunte

How does a corporate felony conviction work? Is any person held responsible, or is it just fines levied on the corporation?

Normally, a civil judgement against a corporation doesn’t involve the owners/executives in personal liability. This protection is basically the whole point of a corporation.

However, criminal charges can pierce this shield.

If the state can prove a case against individual decision makers at PG&E that led to this explosion, those people are in for a rough ride.
