In 2018, British nurse, Lucy Letby was arrested and subsequently charged with the murders of seven infants and the attempted murder of even more. Detectives had been watching her for over a year and felt they had all the evidence they needed to prove she was a cold-hearted killer.
In the weeks and months that followed her arrest the press and public demonized the NHS nurse. People were rightfully outraged at the idea of someone in a position of trust committing such a heinous act. Letby’s trial was one of the longest in U.K. history, lasting ten months with the nurse being handed 15 life sentences at the end of it.
