There Couldn't Be A Win/Win Result In This Case

And my regrets go out to the after the fact victims but I wonder if someone can recall if anyone was convicted for unleashing this disease into the blood supply in the first instance.

Acquittals in blood scandal
October 01, 2007

THE CANADIAN PRESS

Activists and lawyers for victims of the worst public-health disaster in Canadian history lashed out in anger Monday after an Ontario judge acquitted the former national medical director of the Canadian Red Cross and three other doctors of criminal charges in the tainted-blood scandal.

Critics called it "ludicrous" that the court acquitted Dr. Roger Perrault, 70, along with the three doctors and a New Jersey pharmaceutical company for their alleged roles in the blood scandal that left thousands of Canadians infected with HIV or hepatitis C.

Perrault's lawyer, however, called the ruling an "absolute vindication" and a "complete exoneration."

Perrault had been facing four charges of criminal negligence causing bodily harm and one charge of common nuisance for allegedly giving hemophilia patients an HIV-infected blood-clotting product in the 1980s and early 1990s.
