Criminal violations for Transocean and BP?


Various news sources are reporting that the problems leading up to the Deepwater Horizon explosion may result in criminal prosecutions.

Douglas Brown, a senior mechanic on the rig, testified to Congress that the rig was weeks behind scheduled preventative maintenance because Transocean was cutting back on manpower.

Brown also substantiates the story Mike Williams told on 60 Minutes about the BP manager overruling the Transocean OIM, toolpusher, and driller regarding the cementing procedure.

So the finger pointing continues almost two months after the rig explosion and now news sources are saying criminal charges may happen as well.

If I were a high-level supervisor on the Deepwater Horizon, I would consider protecting myself immediately by hiring a competent maritime lawyer who was independent from the company so my rights weren't trampled or compromised by all the finger-pointing that has occurred.
