True or false: the following is an objective statement.

CoPAY (Pty) Ltd. did illegally dispose of hexavalent chromium by dumping it in the reservoir. However, in the written documents and televised advertisements shown in court, CoPAY informed the settlement’s population that the water from the reservoir should not be consumed in any way, whether by drinking, using it for cooking, or even bathing, doing laundry, or washing dishes in it. Plaintiffs in the class-action suit became severely ill and incurred debilitating medical expenses for treatment relating to these dire illnesses. CoPAY was clearly deliberately negligent. Based on the plaintiffs’ suffering, CoPAY should be found guilty of reckless endangerment and attempted murder.

False.

The statement contains subjective language and opinions, particularly in phrases like "clearly deliberately negligent," "should be found guilty," and "attempted murder." These expressions reflect personal judgments and interpretations of the situation rather than presenting an objective fact. Objective statements are factual and devoid of personal opinions or beliefs.
