They are facing trial on a 110-count charge of involuntary manslaughter while the registered trustees of SCOAN were charged with a count charge of erecting a building without approval. “There was no sign of deflections or any stress on the collapsed building before it collapsed,” he stated. He also noted that mechanical devices were only used to investigate deflections after the building had collapsed and not before.
