Wow - a Little Unfair isn't it?

In 2009, an earthquake in an Italian town of Aquila killed at least 309 people.  When things go badly, the public and the government look for someone to blame.

They chose the geologists.

In the courts, the geologists were found guilty of manslaughter and were originally sentenced to 6 years in prison as well as pay $10 million in damages.

Thank goodness it was appealed and the ruling was reversed.  Check out more here on BBC or motherboard.
