I don't think I could watch, hearing details

Words fail me that someone like that exists

Why does every awful thing humans do have to be downplayed by you with the “mental health” angle? and now wishing that this absolute sick fook “gets the help she needs.” Who are you blaming here?

I don’t mean to come across attacking, btw. But can people not just be plain bad, sometimes?

She is bad. She'll do jail for life I think. No Psych ward for her

I since read that the other nurse allit had Munchausen by proxy

Doesn't seem to be any way to screen for that

I was just posting that the other nurse that killed children had Munchausen by proxy

It's a disorder albeit very difficult to treat

Rehabilitation involves treating that disorder presumably

spurious

I had to stop reading accounts of what she did. Jesus Christ.

Was that the Norwegian one? I watched Netflix show about a killer nurse. But it wasn’t munchausen. Some other “disorder” to do with attention and narcissism; can’t think name of it

I don’t get that. Surely part of the justice protocol is that the defendant should have to be there to face the verdict…. Why was she not handcuffed and physically carried to the van ? And to the courtroom ? If after lunch she refused to return to her cell she’d be physically carried to her cell so ? Again. People and the system sticking up for the perpetrators instead of victims.

There should be no one afraid to come forward with worries about a woman like this.

I know an eye for an eye is wrong but she seemed so removed from empathy, that I'm curious to see how she would react to being injected with air, like just so she understands what it feels like.

eye for an eye isn’t always wrong

She's not removed from empathy at all. Not for a second. She seeked it out from her colleagues and got it.

She had no empathy for the babies she killed though.

No tears in court until she was found guilty. Some of that testimony would break your heart, but she didn't flinch

And 2 or 3 baby deaths a year in neo-natal unit before letby according to panorama

A little odd

You’re not suggesting she could be innocent, are you? Just checking.

Strong words!!!!

I just read those articles sitting next to my daughters intensive care bed in a neonatal unit. I'm utterly shocked, I don't know what to even think, those poor children and their parents. Horrible just horrible.

The help she needs is to be locked up for life so she cannot harm anyone else.

I suspect the other prisoners will take things from there.

Unit changed after letby , they no longer care for very sick babies that's why

Death rate was 2-3 a year before letby

walshb

Did Letby testify at her trial?

Yes

Horrific story. Those poor parents. Its just unimaginable.

I hope your daughter is doing well.

Jaysus, I thought I was made of stern stuff, you read that while your daughter is in a neonatal clinic, that's just bad for your emotional well-being

walshb

The most unimaginable type killer this one. Utterly bizarre. And no smoking gun in this case according to criminologist on panorama

I absolutely think she is guilty, btw.

was it her notes that pretty much confessed to it that was her downfall?

BKtje

I didn't know what she was guilty of else I never would have. Once I started reading I couldn't stop.

Very tough read..

one part I read about an uncontrollable baby’s cry. I actually felt weak

Well rest assured medical staff for the most part are 100% invested in patient care, maybe like try to forget what you read or something.

walshb

Imagine going as far as to remove her due to concerns that she could be a threat to the welfare of babies, and still allowing her on the actual grounds of the hospital working in admin….
