"Oliver Schmidt, said his client was following instructions from VW’s management in the Dieselgate scandal. "

Still using the "Nuremberg defense" after all these years?

Maybe. My first thought, though, is that usually the ones responsible actually escape punishment and someone beneath them in rank is made to be the scapegoat.

All EU auto mpg estimates have been fudged and unrealistic for years, with the cooperation of EU governments. Who was to know diesels would be expected to report real facts?

Volkswagen executive Oliver Schmidt was imprisoned for 7 years in the US for his role in the diesel emissions scandal.

Hummmm, lying about their Environmental Pollution Science data, we should apply this standard to anyone who lies about "Climate Science" data.
