them for 3,000 plus counts of manslaughter and gross criminal negligence with wanton disregard for human life and non-capital perjury.
At least it was before they ran out the federal and state statutes of limitations for those offenses.
Criminal negligence is conduct that is gross, wanton and culpable demonstrating a reckless disregard for human life. Criminal negligence is judged under an objective standard and may be found to exist where the offender either knew or should have known the probable consequences of his acts.
That leaves one capital federal statute not involving purposeful pre-meditated murder for which there is no statute of limitations that might still be applied:
49 USC § 46502 - Aircraft piracy (Death resulting from aircraft hijacking.)
Current through Pub. L. 113-31. (See Public Laws for the current Congress.)
(a) In Special Aircraft Jurisdiction.—
(1) In this subsection—
(A) “aircraft piracy” means seizing or exercising control of an aircraft in the special aircraft jurisdiction of the United States by force, violence, threat of force or violence, or any form of intimidation, and with wrongful intent.
(B) an attempt to commit aircraft piracy is in the special aircraft jurisdiction of the United States although the aircraft is not in flight at the time of the attempt if the aircraft would have been in the special aircraft jurisdiction of the United States had the aircraft piracy been completed.
(2) An individual committing or attempting or conspiring to commit aircraft piracy—
(A) shall be imprisoned for at least 20 years; or
(B) notwithstanding section 3559 (b) of title 18, if the death of another individual results from the commission or attempt, shall be put to death or imprisoned for life.
