Italian court convicts 7 scientists for failing to predict earthquake | Fox News

 

[Frank Stalter]

An appalling bit of news.

But not altogether surprising. Italian law seems predisposed to automatically coming up with guilty verdicts when deaths or personal injuries are involved then a subsequent trial usually find a lesser sentence or reduced or even suspended sentences. The amanda knox trial was not untypical.

Or geologists either.......my paycheck is a sad, sad joke. I might have decent benefits, but it's hard to buy groceries with your health insurance or dental plan.

tom cruise and john travolta are seismologists

 

[Double Nought Spy]

Them two guys better stay the hell outa Italy. Combine a travesty religion with a travesty legal system and no end of bad movies might result.

 

[dyingsun]

This is ludicrous on so many levels. Next up, weathermen/women. At least Berlusconi finally got some jail time.

Does this mean Italy is even more scientifically illiterate than the U.S ? Sheesh !
