Interesting. As I would expect, seismologists unrelated to the case disagree with the ruling: >"It's too easy to predict an earthquake after the fact and say everyone should have cleared out, but beforehand people, for good reason, thought the risk was low," said John Vidale, a University of Washington seismologist. In fact, Vidale said, the scientists' statements that the quake was unlikely were true. "There was a very small chance of that earthquake," Vidale told LiveScience. "It didn't make sense for people to evacuate." http://www.livescience.com/24173-laquila-earthquake-manslaughter-verdict-condemned.html http://www.livescience.com/24173-laquila-earthquake-manslaug...
