businesses aren't on trial. it's their owners / directors / responsible parties who are on trial, and those are 'private individuals' - they might be held accountable for their business or business practices, but the idea a business is on trial is silly. and now we know 'people' are actually on trial, it's more logical to say they should be treated as individuals....

Partially in rather prominent cases[1] There is such a thing as a corporate death penalty. [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Andersen https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Andersen
