GM to pay fine for mass murder

Why aren't some people being charged with manslaughter, at least, more like third degree murder, since it occurred over years, after knowing that people were dying because of it's actions? A man in Florida is facing the death penalty for killing two people when robbing restaurants. GM killed at least 13 for the sake of money.

Our society thinks it's ok for the rich to kill people for the sake of getting richer, but not if you are poor and hungry.
