BP Execs Could Face Manslaughter Charges 
-----------------------------------------



Federal investigators are reportedly reviewing whether managers for the
oil giant BP could face manslaughter charges in connection with last
year’s Gulf oil spill disaster that left 11 people dead. Bloomberg
News reports investigators are also reviewing statements from company
officials at congressional hearings following the spill to determine
whether their claims matched what they knew. BP’s former chief
executive officer, Tony Hayward, is reportedly among those under
investigation.
