A Greek Tragedy
The AP via Rigzone is reporting:
A former Halliburton manager apologized to his family and friends
Tuesday before a U.S. judge sentenced him to one year of probation for
destroying evidence in the aftermath of BP's massive 2010 oil spill in
the Gulf of Mexico.
Anthony Badalamenti had faced a maximum of one year in prison at his
sentencing by U.S. District Judge Jay Zainey.
Badalamenti pleaded guilty
in October to one misdemeanor count of destruction of evidence.
The 62-year-old also has to perform 100 hours of community service and
pay a $1,000 fine.
Badalamenti was the cementing technology director for Halliburton Energy
Services Inc., BP's cement contractor on the Deepwater Horizon drilling
rig. Prosecutors said he instructed two Halliburton employees to delete
data during a post-spill review of the cement job on BP's blown-out
Macondo well.
The judge said probation is "very reasonable in this case."
