Manslaughter is a little different in Italy - any fan of motorsport will tell you that.
There is, pretty much, no such thing as an 'accidental' death in Italy - somone can always be found responsible in some small way and they are often convicted of manslaughter. It doesn't mean they're going to jail for twenty years.
When Ayrton Senna was killed at Imola in 1994 just about everyone faced that charge - the race organisers, the officials, the circuit owners, his team principle, his engineers, the designer of the car etc. In the end, from memory, only the head of the car design department was convicted and he received no punishment whatsoever.
