33-year-old Lucy Letby was convicted on Friday of killing seven babies in the neonatal unit of a hospital in England.

A handwritten note found by police officers who searched her home after the arrest read “I killed them on purpose”.
-
Letby will be sentenced on Monday and faces a very long prison term, and possibly a rare full life sentence.
Wait I’m confused are there actually people who think she didn’t do this? I looked at the evidence it’s pretty f****** clear she killed like a bunch of babies. Like how much of a psychopath do you have to be to kill a baby not only a baby, preemies. The most defenseless of defenseless, like are you for real or are you just like joshing and having a laugh, are you for real?
It’s not this specific case that suggests why killing prisoners is wrong, but others where it’s not so cut and dry…
A man was recently pardoned after years in prison for a crime he did not commit - he was on a whole life sentence.
If killing someone for their crimes becomes legal, this man may have been killed for a crime he didn’t commit and would never have seen a free day again.
By maintaing the system currently in place where we don’t kill prisoners, there is the opportunities for miscarriages of justice to be somewhat rectified.
Can’t bring a man back from the dead, but we can give him a million pounds for the false imprisonment and his freedom for the rest of his days.
I never said she needs to be put to death or advocated for such, I just hope she never gets out so that she can harm another person. Anyway, I assumed they didn’t have the death penalty in Britain.
My bad, I made an assumption based on the earlier stance in the thread of this woman getting the death penalty.
Oh YOU looked at the evidence? Ok, nothing more to do here boys, time to shut down the courts and legal institutions, we found a much better way to do things. Why haven’t we thought about contacting you sooner?
You think there is no deception possible in this world? Imagine you killed someone and afterwards it turns out a mistake was made in the process?
Dude what?
There’s a note in her handwriting admitting she did it.
All the babies that died, died whilst she was on shift at a infinitely higher rate than what was normal
The text messages on her phone link to the dates of when the babies were killed.
People can often be locked up or sentenced under some pretty circumstantial evidence, but that is not the case here.
