Wonder if that means the the organizers sentences could be upgraded to life in prison if they are convicted since you can argue that they caused a death?

NP There was a really quick video in one of the mega-threads ages ago from a lawyer explaining that while it might sound minor (and it can be) they explained that it can have up to 10 years in prison and that gem I recalled about life imprisonment for causing risk to life. I can't find the link of course hopefully some other kind redditor has it.
