What is worst manslaughter or negligent homicide?
Manslaughter and neglient homicide are interchangeable terms. Depending on the statute of the jurisdiction where the case is tried, one or the other is used. Whatever one calls it, it is always a lesser included charge under first or second degree murder. Manslaughter means the death of an individual the defendant did nor mean to kill. His actions were not premeditatated, and he may not have even had a weapon. Something he did either recklessly or foolishly caused the death of someone else.
Although the terms mean the same, the phrase "negligent homicide" is often used to describe for example, the actions of owners of buildings that are in disrepair. If their failure to follow fire and safety codes leads to fatalities of employees, residents or members of work crews, the owners are generally charged with second degree murder (because there was no premeditation), and negligent homicide, the phase that means exactly what it says.

How many Americans have been found not guilty by reason of insanity?
Usually, a defendant will need to have a complete mental evaluation as a first step in his insanity defense. Psychiatrists or psychologists will likely take the stand and testify about the defendant's likely state of mind at the time of the offense. However, even these professionals cannot decide whether or not a defendant is insane because, as discussed above, insanity is a legal term when used as a criminal defense. Therefore, the jury or judge will decide whether the testimony and evidence support a finding of criminal insanity.

I'm not sure if you are talking about the school shooting in Arkansas. There wasn't a bomb threat but one of the shooters pulled the fire alarm so they could shoot kids as they ran outside. If this is the one your talking about it was Andrew Golden, 11 and Mitchell Johnson, 13. Andrew pulled the fire alarm and ran back to where Mitchell and their arsenal was setup and they shot 15 people as they were leaving the safety of the school. If I remember correctly I believe 5 little girls were killed. It was a shock to see two young boys pull of such an ambush and the amount of weapons and bullets they had with them.
