    Charge the manager with a separate count of murder for every employee that died due to their orders.

      In old Japan, they would have made a bunch of management chop their finger off or commit seppuku.

      Im not suggesting that. I’m just saying.

      Murder wouldnt stick, have to prove intent.

      Negligent Homicide or Criminal Negligence on the other hand…

        TN has a strong felony murder statute. You dont need to prove intent, you just need to prove they were perpetrating a related violent felony.

        I’m not a lawyer but in this case it seems like management have probably met the criteria for felony theft or kidnapping. Any properly motivated DA could then add a felony murder charge for each death.

        That’s a question for the jury. Charge the manager with all and let the jury decide.

          It doesnt meet the criteria for murder.

          Section 1751(a) of Title 18 incorporates by reference 18 U.S.C. §§ 1111 and 1112. 18 U.S.C. § 1111 defines murder as the unlawful killing of a human being with malice, and divides it into two degrees. Murder in the first degree is punishable by death.
