A British nurse refused to appear in court on Monday to be sentenced for the murders of seven babies and attempted murders of six others at the UK hospital where she worked.

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.

    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!

      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?
