I never did understand the misplaced anger on the former executives who've been sentenced to jail time. Them serving time won't help the victims; and a trade-off between jail time and higher compensation should be acceptable to most. Of course, this doesn't take away from the embarrassment that is the Indian judicial system that took 26 years to even get to this point. If the oil-spill was happening off the coast of Bombay, BP wouldn't be half as bothered.
