I like the "how was I supposed to know that?" argument. It's called taking responsibility for your actions. If you're a CEO or supervisor, your workers' performance is your responsibility too.

You really should start from page one. Those "arguments" are call-backs to an earlier discussion of overcriminalization. The upshot is that you, literally you, if you live in the USA, have almost certainly committed any number of crimes which could put you in prison for any number of years. The only reason you haven't been is because you've been lucky enough to not be prosecuted...yet. Justice isn't supposed to be a matter of luck.

I should clarify. Those examples given were poor examples and I was speaking about those specifically. There's no excuse to drive drunk or even after you've had one drink. It's simple. If you drink any alcohol, don't drive.
The CEO doesn't know his people aren't doing the job right? He's a poor leader. I do agree there is a degree and a "threshold" to the knowledge the employees aren't doing their job. Employee is fucking up for 3 months and is caught on quarterly audit...CEO admits the error, takes steps to fix the error and to mitigate future errors. I don't believe he should be prosecuted for the issue.
