Three Death Sentences in Chinese Milk Scandal

Now here is a way to make corporations responsible. Sentence the executives to death. Hmmm, one upside is that if you do this only every now and then, most if not all other companies will fall right in line and operate ethically.

BEIJING — A group of high-ranking dairy company executives and middlemen were sentenced by a Chinese court on Thursday to long jail terms, life in prison and, for three individuals, the death penalty for endangering public safety last year by selling and producing tainted milk products, according to the state-run news media.

The court said members of the group had intentionally produced and sold fake or substandard dairy products laced with a toxic chemical called melamine, which the government says sickened about 300,000 children and caused the death of at least six in one of the worst food safety scandals in China in decades.
