This is the most absurd reasoning I've seen al week

"I am sorry, we cant imprison this murderer for life, what if he killed someone else and they need to sue him too, we can't i prison him for life twice!"

This is a ridiculous comparison. Murder is criminal law and we’re talking about civil law (tort). The two are handled completely differently, with different laws and procedures.
Yeah I know - unlike corporations, individuals can’t kill people and escape criminal responsibility. It happens time and again, look at DuPont, Boeing max, etc.
