Is there a point where negligence in these extreme cases becomes criminal? Like say hypothetically a police officer or fireman runs away from an emergency in cowardice instead of saving someone in distress resulting in their death (hopefully that would never happen!) - or in this case management of an NHS trust let a monstrous serial killer murder innocent babies and do nothing?
Surely there's a point where that becomes criminal and not just "gross negligence"?
Gross negligence is a form of manslaughter. Yes.
