Bravo a few priest are going to jail.

What's your magic bullet? You dont think that a successful prosecution in a case such as this might spur other prosecutors to be bring similar charges in other states?

We'd rather the entire corporation be shut down.

I'd rather those who commit criminal offences are called to account in courts of law. The corporation is on its way out anyway.
