The utility company in this outrageous case should be charged with murder.
It's just too bad, so sad the 93-year-old man froze to death. It was his fault, after all:
Local officials have reacted with callousness. The electricity commissioner and the mayor attempted to pin the blame on Schur. “I’m certain if there had been some communication we could have solved this without the tragedy that occurred,” Newston said.
