CrJ418 says They should be facing manslaughter charges, along with fraud, reckless endangerment, and whatever else is on the books. Landbastard scumbaggery should be a felony with a 20 year sentence.

TheBigSalami says Wouldn’t this have been the fault of the building inspectors? if there were major structural issues they shouldn’t have issued the owner certificates of occupancy…
