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.

    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!
