I don't believe the U.S. would have jurisdiction, since this happened outside the U.S., but I think that's beside the point. We don't hold people responsible for the murder of another unless the person was actively participating, aiding, hiring, or conspiring with another to do so, except in very limited circumstances. One situation which would require legal intervevtion would be a psychiatrist who's patient said he was going to kill an identifiable person. In that case, he would have to take steps to prevent it.

I don't know..if a hospital worker KNOWS about malpractice, and fails to report it, and the patient dies, they are for sure held accountable..NOT criminally though. Civilly. I agree that it was out of the jurisdiction of our GOVT, BUT, a civil suit could possible be won against cnn..
