Questione giuridica chiave
Whether A. and B. were criminally liable for negligent serious bodily injury and negligent endangerment through breach of construction rules.
Decisione estratta
Both appellants were properly held responsible because the scaffold defect was within their respective supervisory spheres and was avoidable through proper control and safety measures.
Motivazione estratta
The court held that each participant in construction is responsible only for rules within his own area, but a construction manager must coordinate and supervise safety, while an employer remains responsible after delegation for selection, instruction, and oversight. The missing scaffold protections were plainly detectable and should have been addressed.
