The jury found the gas and electric utility guilty on five counts of violating federal regulations related to integrity management and one count of obstructing an agency proceeding. The jury found PG&E not guilty of six counts related to record keeping. “While we are very much focused on the future, we will never forget the lessons of the past,” PG&E said in a statement. “We have made unprecedented progress in the nearly six years since the tragic San Bruno accident and we are committed to maintaining our focus on safety.”
