description The verdict of an Italian court read that a group of seismologists was guilty for wrong prediction of the impending L'aquilla earthquake which killed 309 people on 6 April 2009 and sentenced them to prison. A question was asked to them whether an earthquake will occur due to the many foreshocks that were observed in the previous months. Their investigations showed that there will not be a big earthquake, which was later found wrong and hence a punishment was announced. This is being debated among seismologists and other scientists globally.
