VW's former CEO isn't being charged with killing anyone one. He has been charged with committing fraud by knowingly lying to regulators.

I wasn't suggesting that either VW's, GM's, or Boeing's CEOs actually go to prison for "killing" anyone but rather for "knowingly allowing such issues to directly kill". And as the GM example stands to show, it's not particularly hard to get away with this in the US if you are the CEO of a powerful company.

Can you provide examples of CEOs of less powerful companies not getting away with this? Your comment seems to necessitate examples of such.
