Comment on Alec Baldwin's manslaughter trial over Rust shooting has been dismissed

What you’re describing would be civil liability, not criminal. It would potentially be criminal if a supervisor knew one of their direct reports was doing something illegal and condoned it or did nothing, but that doesn’t seem to be the case here

In Canada it would be criminal and not civil.
It comes down to who has directly authority over someone though iirc.

I bet Canada’s putting a ton of CEOs in jail, right?

The link actually includes everyone who has been charged under the bill if you read it!

So no CEOs in jail, because the only penalty from a criminal conviction under this statute is a fine

I’m glad someone has and enforces some sane laws.
