The death rate of elderly nursing home residents will sky rocket if the Mayors of cities put Covid patients in their homes to get Federal funding like Cuomo did. The Naval Hospital Ship could have handled a thousand patients and was staffed instead it only accepted 100 patients. Javits Center on the East side was setup and staffed to handle thousands of Covid patients and Cuomo used nursing homes instead to get Federal funds. He should be prosecuted for the deaths of thousands.
While we're at it criminal charges are in order.
LouieFisk found this gem:
Theres whats called depraved heart murder - from Findlaw cuz I dont trust my memory right now:It seems to me that forcing nursing homes to accept patients who are infected or still infectious, while safe alternatives were available, would be an act of a "depraved heart".Often the intent to kill (or malice aforethought) element of murder can be satisfied by showing that the defendant showed extreme indifference to human life. These are also known as depraved heart murders.
Acting with extreme recklessness and knowing that act is dangerous to human life (i.e., firing through the floor of your third-story apartment) and ending a human life may satisfy this intent element, even if the person never intended to kill anyone. This has been argued in fatal DUI cases in which the driver was far too intoxicated to form any intent.
Bring federal depraved heart murder charges against any governor who ordered infectious patients into facilities with the very most vulnerable people, and any minion who executed those orders.
