What were the options for her? End their suffering prior forced evacuation by 5PM and be charged with homicide or leaving there patients to suffer in slow death and be charged with neglected care. Seems like lose lose situation to me for doctor in charge.

I guess the ideal solution under these horrible circumstances would be getting consent from patients what should be done about them, if they are coherent. But if they are not the lesson learned here is to leave them suffering since neglected care is safer than homicide. But as the investigator argued what's the point of charging one doctor without charging people up responsible for hundreds of deaths by their inaction.
