Just because a murder charge was dropped, doesn't mean that a murder didn't happen. The justice system doesn't convict 100% of murderers.

This is illustrated in the quote

"It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer"

They charged the company with murder, which is a first for the legal system. That concept barely makes sense. Who at the company was at fault, and why? The company itself is a legal fiction.
