Let's suppose, for example, that somebody reported to a hospital director that a member of staff was committing multiple murders.
Let's suppose that the director refused to listen or investigate the report, and instead told the whistle-blower to shut up, and threatened them with the sack.
Might an investigation find that the director was criminally negligent?
Does their negligence only exist if the reports were true? What if it turned out there was only one murder? Or twenty but the evidence had been destroyed? Or if the murders had been committed, but by a different member of staff?
Is a dangerous drunk driver only guilty if he kills someone?
