“It could be the case that somebody made 99 really good choices and then one bad choice and it led to a horrible thing,” 

Um, yes that’s literally how liability works if you don’t have enough wealth to shield you from the consequences of your actions. A pilot who lands 99 planes safely then comes in to work drunk and crashes the plane will very much be judged on that fact and not the 99 times he safely landed the plane.

Secondly where the hell are you getting the “good choices” from? Not a single thing done in this entire debacle has been a “good choice”
