Because Dozing’s No Crime
The difference between a failure and a felony can turn on whether an
executive willfully shut his or her eyes to illegal activity -- or
simply dozed and missed a problem. That difference can sometimes be hard
to distinguish. And that's why it's so important that courts take great
care that they don't allow mistakes to be turned into crimes, write
attorneys Kevin Mosley and Andrew Wise. Dozing may be grounds for
termination, or even civil liability, but it isn't a crime.
