It appears our family has been VERY lucky

The following report details senior medical professionals raising numerous concerns with managers over a prolonged period of time and their resistance to doing anything about it.
Someone surely has to be made accountable for this.

BBC News - Hospital bosses ignored months of doctors' warnings about Lucy Letby

The government also follows the money implicitly. This country was built on volunteers, and runs on corruption.

 

Can her knowledge and experience be used to put in place systems and checks that stop it happening again? If so, that could potentially help to rehabilitate her a little - although arguably much of it could be gained without her input (and being only 99% evil isn't much different to 100% evil!), but as a baby killer she is likely to face a cycle of short and painful prison spells before long recoveries in the prison hospital...

 

I'm also fundamentally opposed to the death penalty on principle. The case which got me closest to having doubts was the Delhi gang rape on the bus. Although I remain strongly against the death penalty, I must admit that when the perpetrators were sentenced to hang, something which is reserved for the "rarest of rare" crimes in India, I was struggling to come up with any arguments why it shouldn't be used in this case, apart from my personal opposition to the death penalty in principle. I certainly didn't feel an ounce of pity for the convicts when I read the news that the sentences had been carried out.

 

If you execute people for rape it potentially incentivises rapists to murder their victims.

 

The poor victim did die in this case, and it only became a capital case once she'd passed away from her injuries, if I remember correctly.

 

Isn't it fairly certain that the death penalty doesn't work as a deterrent? If that is the case, wouldn't it logically work the other way round as well?

Genuine question, by the way. I think the death penalty is barbaric and not fitting in a civilised society, but I share MT's struggle to care too much about the executed in certain situations.

 

Cases like this deserve the death penalty and I imagine that’s what she will get eventually. There will be plenty of her fellow prisoners happy to stick a knife in her, and who would blame them?

 

It doesn't work as a deterrent, what I'm saying is that if a criminal has raped someone and knows that if they're caught they'll be executed then they might kill the victim to ensure they can't be reported.

 

Very fair point

 

What a spectacular failing of governance and internal reporting procedures as well. I’d be very surprised if there aren’t further charges to the senior leadership team at the Hospital as well.

 

Be prepared to be surprised

 

Thats scary matey.

 

Hells too good for her!!!!

 

From the reports it sounds like someone from the hospital management needs jail time. Chances of that happening are probably zero, I hope the families get justice, not just from her going to jail but from the incompetent idiots who refused to listen to their doctors.

 

It beggar's belief that the CEO at Chester at the time has since worked in East London, Cornwall and Liverpool and as recently as January this year was appointed to lead Queen Victoria Hospital in Sussex (he's now gone). The Nursing Director is still employed as such in Rochdale and Salford, whilst the Medical Director retired to his farmhouse in France in 2018.

She should be dragged up to the dock by her hair if she refuses to face them in court.

 

What kind of lame-brained legislation allows a convicted murderer the right to not appear in court?? The world is going mad. She should be dragged up the stairs and thrown into the dock and then, afterwards, kicked back down them and into the van taking her to her new “forever home”.

 

Weirdly all these people she’s inflicted so much pain on she followed on Facebook to gloat at the crimes she committed..now she it comes to facing them she don,t want that.

 

A thoroughly depressing interview with the doctor who eventually got her arrested despite the cover up led by Ian Harvey, medical director at the hospital in question, who should face trial too.
That's if they can drag him back from his mansion in the south of France, where he fled shortly after her arrest to live on his £2m pension pot.
