A federal indictment last week charged Robert Kaluza and Donald Vidrine with manslaughter, accusing them of botching a crucial safety test. But a defense attorney claims the two BP well site leaders are scapegoats, given that other government probes have concluded blame for the disaster was shared among several individuals and companies.
Shaun Clarke, one of Kaluza's attorneys, says prosecutors are unfairly targeting two men just trying to do their jobs on the rig.
