Negligence is a pretty low standard in the law. Gross negligence is much more difficult. I see the statute, as quoted here, says nothing about knowingly or wilfully. Troublesome. He may skate if this is an accurate representation of the statutory language.

having knowledge that the same has been illegally removed from its proper place of custody........

It seems that the "knowingly" issue is covered.

I can't help thinking that when the documents come into his possession in a high security archival environment, taking them out and then losing them would meet the standard of gross negligence.
