Re: Lucy Letby

I am unsure that prison is the right place for her(because if she did these terrible things, then her mental state has to be called into question)...and as to the death penalty...well yes I think it should be an available option for crimes where you can be absolutely CERTAIN that you have caught the right person.

That the evidence is rock solid, but part of me is conflicted about that too...we want to hang a murderer but we are happy for the state to murder someone(and I never thought I would say that, but looking at how screwed our police / justice system is, I do not trust it to do a good job)

Like lettie says I think a lot of the evidence is questionable which is why it took the Jury so long to reach a majority verdict(not a unanimous one).
The problem with cases such as this is it stirs up public hatred and that means that emotions get in the way of logic. I defy anyone to tell me that those jurors were not influenced by what they read or heard.....and that could have meant their judgements were flawed.

Now I know that I may get lots of people who disagree with this, but I have a little itch of doubt...and it is in a place where it can't be scratched.

Whatever happens to Lucy Letby...whether she spends the rest of her life in prison...it can never bring back those babies and the parents of those babies will never ever get over their loss...but then Lucy Letby's parents did nothing wrong and they are going to be suffering in a similar way.
Their guilt by association will never go away and they will be pointed out wherever they go
