They should be liable by default. But of course people at a lower position can be liable for their own crimes. That is for a court to decide.

That is a perversion of justice and sets unimaginably bad precedent.

You just keep saying “perversion of justice” over and over as of it is self-evident.

And as if precedent doesn't already exist - check https://treeandneighborlawblog.com for tons of (smaller) examples and also the concepts of "attractive nuisance" and such.

Juries are unlikely to criminally convict in a true case of "didn't know and couldn't know" but they also are likely to award large civil settlements even in those cases.
