More about the verdict in the L'Aquila Earthquake Trial [Legal Metrology]

Last year I had the opportunity to publish a comment on the verdict of the trial about the missed warning for L'Aquila earthquake, which sentenced seven people (six scientists and a politician) for manslaughter. The verdict was based on the lack of a correct and deep evaluation and analysis of the seismic risk, especially considering the situation at that time, when a high number of earthquake shocks struck L'Aquila. As I wrote in my previous article [1], the defendants appealed the sentence, but at the time I wrote that article, the appeal proceedings had not yet begun.
