On Thursday, a Butte County judge imposed a $3.5 million fine on
PG&E for causing the 2018 Camp Fire -- the deadliest wildfire
in California's history that claimed 84 lives. The ruling came
after PG&E CEO Bill Johnson entered 84 individual guilty pleas
for those deaths on Tuesday. Dozens spoke during the court
proceeding recounting the horrifying deaths of loved ones who
perished in the blaze. While PG&E, the state's largest utility,
was held responsible, no executives were charged or face jail time.
Critics say the fine and punishment is too lenient given that
PG&E has been linked to a number of disasters since 2015. We’ll
dive into PG&E's criminal case and the company's bankruptcy
proceedings.
