Hi everybody.
Many thanks for that update RRSignal. This incident is still making the news in industrial safety circles even on this side of the pond. One thing that is to be sure is the fact that Amtrak and the rail authorities will be as much in the dock as this driver when the trial eventually opens in court.
Can someone advise me if in the United States courts a judge can make recommendations at the conclusion of a case in regard to where he/she feels alternative additional responsibility may lay in a case, outside of the persons under charge. The forgoing is often practised in the UK courts following not only individual court hearings but public enquiries also.
