Nine people were arrested in the collapse of self-built houses in Changsha. What punishment will the responsible person receive?

In my opinion, the responsible person will face various criminal penalties.

We don't deny that the reason why this case happened is undoubtedly caused by many complicated factors. Under the premise that the house involved has collapsed, how to find out the cause of the story and how to accurately investigate the defendant involved is undoubtedly a complex problem that needs to be studied and solved in this case.

Up to now, 53 people have been killed, but the case that the owner and contractor involved in the case are suspected of a major liability accident undoubtedly belongs to the category of negligent crime. Finally, the defendant was convicted and punished, and the maximum legal sentence was 7 years. On the premise that the charges have not changed, according to the principle of legally prescribed punishment for a crime, the maximum sentence can only be seven years. More importantly, in view of the actual situation of this case, it is estimated that the ultimate owner and accomplice are unable to pay a higher amount of fines and compensation. In this case, the heaviest responsibility is undoubtedly the owner and the engineering design and construction personnel involved. As far as guilt is concerned, whether the owner should bear a heavier responsibility, or the design and construction personnel should bear a heavier responsibility, or whether they have the same status and role, they can be accomplices without considering the subject. As far as the criminal responsibility of the defendant involved is concerned, this is also a question worthy of our consideration and one of the focuses of the dispute in this case.

According to common sense, relatively speaking, the person in charge of design and construction is more professional and authoritative, and has the right to refuse construction on the issues of whether the building involved can be added and how many floors can be built. From this perspective, the design and construction personnel have greater responsibility and heavier guilt; On the contrary, the owner is the investor, property owner and actual user of the building involved, as well as the proposer, investor and beneficiary of the intention to build the building involved and add stories, and is the contractor of the whole project, and should take full responsibility for the whole incident. Of course, in the process of construction, due to the long time and weak legal awareness, it is unlikely that both parties will keep relevant evidence such as chat records and SMS records related to this matter. How to divide the crime in this case depends on whether the defendant involved can put forward more reasonable defense reasons.
