Two sentenced to death over Chinese tainted milk scandal
Two men were given the death penalty for their involvement in the contaminated milk scandal in China.
More hard sentences are expected, and the former boss of the company was given life imprisonment.
In my view, something had to be done, but I am, and have always been against the death sentence. There was no criminal intent, this was a case of, severe, negligence. I mean, they knew what they were doing, but it’s hard to prove they wanted to kill babies!
If the milk scandal tainted China’s image abroad, I feel that this sentence does more harm than good to the image of China’s justice system.
