Sure, you’d start with the presumption that the accused didn’t lead organization or that the organization didn’t commit the crime in question, then try to prove otherwise.


That's more subtle to prove though. Negligence and malice, while both resulting in the same outcome, do deserve different punishments. And my comment was coming from a position of "you have to assume negligence before anything worse".


Negligence and malice are a separate question as well. If the organization was negligent, the leadership should be held responsible for it.
