What should happen to the managers at Peanut Corp of America?

"Three men have been sentenced to death in China for their involvement in the melamine contamination, which led to the deaths of six children and made nearly 300,000 sick in China."

In China they execute such people and we say "Bravo!"

The executives of the American company are responsible for at least 8 deaths here and have been selling contaminated products for years.

Update:

We do, indeed, have a different system, but they can be charged with negligent homocide or manslaughter.

To prove "negligent homocide" one must prove "that the defendant's conduct resulted in the death of the alleged victim and that the defendant acted with criminal negligence."

    Those responsible for the mess created by Peanut Corporation must be held liable under the Penal Laws and the company to pay indemnities to victims.

    We have a much different system of justice in this country. They have to be charged, tried by their peers, and, if found guilty, sentenced.

    Americans are distrustful of the death penalty b/c of it's unbalanced use. And some people just oppose the death penalty on moral or other arguments. Our system is far from great but I'll take it over many another country including China.

    I hate to disappoint you all, but you can only try them for murder if they deliberately introduced the salmonella themselves into the peanut butter, in a manner similar to the Tylenol cyanide poisonings. Otherwise, the best you can do is sue the bastards (that is, the company) and hope that they all get sacked.
