    Witte more to blame for deaths than Warren: WCB CBC North
    The Board's lawyers argued all are at fault, but not equally, as they finished their closing arguments at the Giant mine civil trial on Friday.

    Most to blame for the was the company that owned the Giant mine, Royal Oak, and its head, Peggy Witte.

    The reason: Witte's decision to keep the mine open using replacement workers, despite escalating violence.

    The Board's lawyers said Witte was more at fault for the deaths than Roger Warren. Warren is serving a life sentence for murdering the nine men.
