How the L’Aquila earthquake trial should have gone down…

Presecutor: “We’re not upset that the accused failed to predict the earthquake of April 6, 2009. As we all know, accurately predicting an earthquake is a scientific impossibility. What we’re upset about is that they failed to properly communicate the risk.”

Defense: “The risk of what?”

Prosecutor: “The earthquake.”

Judge: “The earthquake that they didn’t know was going to happen?”

Prosecutor: “Right.”

Defense: “Right…”
