Fair verdict.

I guess it would be if the cook or the servers or the driver or, you know, someone actually involved in taking, preparing and delivering this order was convicted. Or how about the restaurant's manager who places the orders for food stocks?

Convicting the owner of six restaurants over the supposed switching to ground nuts rather than ground almonds? I would have challenged that from the start - prosecutors can specify the wholesale supplier to get the ground almonds from and then lab test them, I guarantee that it will come back with peanut proteins.

What insanity. Coming to an American courtroom soon...

According to a BBC news article, the restaurant owner had a similar case only a few weeks before this man died where the affected customer had suffered anaphylactic shock after ordering a "nut free" meal from one of his places but had survived.

An investigation was conducted and he was officially warned that he must take steps to guarantee all his "nut free" meals really were nut free. (He had recently changed all his restaurants over from safe almond powder to a peanut based product to save money.) He did not do as requested and someone subsequently died after eating a meal which had "nut free" written on its packaging.
