Lucy Letby, 33, could face a whole life order, meaning she spends the rest of her life behind bars, when she is sentenced later at Manchester Crown Court in northern England. She was found guilty on Friday by a jury, in a case that horrified the country and made her the most prolific child serial killer of recent times.
If you are ever sentenced to something simply refuse. They can't sentence you without your consent.
Apparently you can be found innocent by coughing before they read the verdict and saying “dipshit says guilty”
I've got the best fucking attorneys
Sentencing judges hate this one weird trick
This nurse: horrible
Commenters proposing various forms of vigilante justice and torture: horrible
This isn't Reddit! We don't have to be assholes here!
Right.
I know that in cases like these, our emotions get riled and the lines between justice and revenge become blurred.
Trust me, you want to live in a just society, not a vengeful one. Don't let your heart rule your head!
“Remember: love with your heart; use your head for everything else.”
Right?
This is Lemmy: much worse in very specific ways, with little to none of the self awareness of Reddit.
I mean, honestly, are we any better than the murderer if we propose they be raped in prison or whatever?
She's going to get life in prison either way, so what's the point of her going to any more hearings?
I believe it’s at the sentencing that victim impact statements are read. It’s the only time victims can speak directly to the perpetrator. Some victims might get a sense of closure from that.
Bold move cotton, let's see how it plays out.
Murderous cluster b personality disorder woman throws tantrum when faced with consequences. Who could've seen that coming.
She should be hog tied and gaged, then dragged into the court house
Really wish I'd stop hearing this woman's name everywhere. Don't want this kind of fucking crime to be celebratized.
Exactly what happens with school shootings as well. People wonder "Why did kids go shoot up schools? They must have been influenced by the [group name]!" And then they do a 24 hour news cycle where they dig up every single thing about the shooter and try to find a deeper meaning in their actions. If you were a kid being bullied all the time and you saw that on the news, of course you'd think "Wait a minute. I can make them all pay??". Kids are crazy impressionable. Adults aren't much better, though.
Chickening out on that whole-life order, isn't it, coward?!
I hope she lives a long life full of mystery and pain, but she'll probably be isolated from general population. I'm not sure how the British penal system compares to the US.

mystery and pain? like a sort of masochistic shaggy?
Scooby Doo style baby
She should be put in a goddamn bodybag.
They should just have her hanged, drawn, and quartered.
Where are all the pro-life idiots when shit like this happens?
Hating this person like the rest of us?
There isn't a side on that debate that doesn't find her actions reprehensible.
It's culture war all day, every day for people like you.
Wth did the comment say?!
They'll be blaming it on the gays or something.
those dastardly gays. Just trying to live their life. How dare they.
