And if they manage to trash a medical monitoring system while engaged in their hack exploits, it CAN turn into murder pretty easily.

Of course. If it's truly accidental, perhaps a charge of voluntary manslaughter.

I am not saying wrongful acts accomplished with a computer should go unpunshed. I'm not sure how people got that idea. Just that computer intrusion is not murder.

voluntary manslaughter.

“Voluntary manslaughter”??? Where I come from, that’s called “cold blooded murder”.

Uh, sorry, I cannot support "voluntary manslaughter" for this any more than I can support it for a security guy who decides to clear his sidearm while pointing it at the head of a coma patient.
