IANAL but for it to be "murder" there usually needs to be premeditation so I think the comparison is not appropriate in this case.

- dlp211 7y agoThis is wrong and why not only multiple degrees of murder charges exist, but multiple different charges exist for homicide, eg murder, manslaughter, negligent homicide.

- cco 7y agoReplace with whatever term you prefer; I think the message is still true regardless of the term lay people use. I don't think anybody would complain if the CEO at the time was charged with 300+ crimes of some sort, manslaughter, gross negligence, murder, whatever. On a jury I'd be pretty lenient to the prosecution in this matter if they could find evidence that the CEO was aware of the calculus taking place, i.e. let's cut some corners with our regulatory capture so we can ship this plane more quickly and make more money, it is at that point that premeditation for me seems apt.
