> By your argument, we CAN commit murder, but it has a very high probability of additional adverse consequences

Which...is obviously true. I mean, it would be nice if people could not commit murder, but they can and do.

This doesn't apply in this case because Apple is not stupid. They are not gonna ignore a court ruling because it will land their execs in jail.

Rather than that, they will use legal means such as appealing the ruling. They are a 2T$ company, and they will try their best to use their money to change this decision in their favor.
