They didn't start the earthquake

Several Italian scientists, along with other experts, have been accused of failing to warn residents about a deadly quake and giving "inexact, incomplete and contradictory information" on whether or not tremors felt by L'Aquila residents in the six months before the magnitude-6.3 quake on April 6, 2009, should have constituted grounds for a quake warning. The defendants are facing manslaughter charges after 308 people were killed. This is just stupid because even in areas where earthquakes can be expected, there is no way to predict an earthquake. Even if the tremors were grounds for a warning, the scientists should not be charged with manslaughter. This is wrong and unjust.
