I am not really sure how they will get prosecuted tho, since this happened in international waters. The prescedent is piracy. It is not that nobody has jurisdiction, everyone does. Casady I doubt you could fit negligent homicide into the international piracy statutes. We are having enough trouble charging real pirates off the coast of Somalia. I suppose the only recourse is in civil court but that will only punish the BP stock holders and make a bunch of lawyers rich. The execs who killed those people probably won't even get fired. I didn't say it was piracy, just that, as it is in that case, everyone is a victim and therefore everyone has jurisdiction. There is nowhere beyond the reach of the law, the lawyers saw to that.
