British nurse to spend rest of her life in prison for murdering seven babies

London CNN — A British nurse was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole on Monday for the murders of seven babies and the attempted murders of six others at the UK hospital where she worked.

Lucy Letby, 33, was handed a whole life order by Manchester Crown Court in northern England, meaning she will never be released. Letby refused to appear in the dock, prompting calls for laws to be changed so that defendants must attend their sentencing hearings.

She was found guilty on Friday by a jury, in a case that horrified the country and made her Britain’s most prolific child serial killer of recent times.

Explaining why he decided Letby must spent the rest of her life in prison, Justice James Goss said: “This was a cruel, calculated and cynical campaign of child murder involving the smallest and most vulnerable of children.”

The judge addressed Letby as if she was in court during the sentencing. He ordered his remarks and the victim impact statements read in court earlier in the day to be handed to the convicted serial killer.

Give it a few years and she wouldn’t have been guilty.

Leftism is a death cult and they will legalize any kind of murder to suit their agenda.

Just another liberal deciding what’s best for society. Kind of like that Keystone Capitol Cop who shot Ms. Babbitt in the back.

It’s OK (and even encouraged!) to kill your OWN child - but not the child of another.

The Right To Life supersedes all other rights. Sometimes. Maybe. It’s a gray area these days. :(

The rest of the NHS makes her look like a piker.

Clap for carers!

I hear prisons in Western Europe are even softer than many American prisons.

The fact that in the Millennium we will see and be ruled by YESUA is the ultimate. The next benefit will be that marxism is finally confined to the hell where it belongs.

But the hospital’s management initially dismissed concerns raised by clinicians over the increased mortality rate of patients under Letby’s care, PA reported.

Yup…and all those healthy folks who died suddenly, all increases in things myocarditis….equally dismissed.

I know of MANY industries - steel manufacturing, finance, just to name a few - where internal control testing and identifying problems is not just encouraged but REWARDED.

Medicine and government are the two industries where identifying errors will get you fired and made unemployable.

Similar to the behavior of the former nurse in Steven Kings’ book, Misery.

The backwards and hypocritical mindset of liberals. It’s ok to kill your own, not others. She’s getting less than what she deserves and even says so.

Justice James Goss said: “This was a cruel, calculated and cynical campaign of child murder involving the smallest and most vulnerable of children.”

After sentencing her,the most important step is to study this 33 year old woman. Everything that pertains to her mental, physical and yes,spiritual state in the hope of preventing such unthinkable acts from ever happening again. She needs to be examined and reexamined every second of everyday for the rest of her life. Every piece of her past has to be put under a microscope. She is essentially a lab rat that may prove beneficial in diagnosing others and preventing others from such aberrant behavior.

And the US now has a de facto NHS.

God help us.
