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.

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.

Sort of comparable to employees of "the state" having no obligation to protect mere citizens?

The OWNER was reported to have passed up transportation with two buses for the residents, so I would think the owner is in very deep doo doo.... but maybe all of them are since they had a "duty of care" not to abandon their residents/patients?? (I don't know their law, but apparently the LA Atty. General thinks it is clear).
