It's hard to tell how they could ever actually prove the case. While the staff has some duty to the nursing home residents, I don't think the law requires them to do anything that would put themselves at risk.

According to Fox News just now, the owners were given opportunities to get the patients out in advance of the storm and refused to do so.

These owners are in serious trouble.

On FOX they said that it is against the law for them to flee and NOT take those who were helpless, whose lives they were entrusted with, and that they already have been charged with negligent homicide.

I think your stupidity bears repeating.

Judge Napolitano on Fox said that the law requires them to stay there and even die with the residents of the nursing home.

I see what you are saying but that may be where the involuntary manslaughter comes in. There is outrage across the country right now about this so they had to do something until the dust uh water settles.

Oh yes, they are! I am an R.N. and twenty years ago was charge nurse on a medical/surgical floor. We had to have fire drills and an evacuation plan in case of fire. We were to get the patients out of there.

The staff down there had five days to get those folks out. If there is a fire, you surely don't have five days!
