Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

MODERATORS
They aren't "doubling down", this follows that very testimony from Dr. Lee.
Whether nurse Letby was responsible or not, the hospital allowed the deaths to continue, despite multiple nurses and doctors bringing their concerns to management.
It sounds like those doctors's opinions may not be enough to overturn to conviction. I thought it also said that their assessment was pretty much over one specific area regarding where air was injected and it's not encompassing all of the evidence presented in the case. Too me it sounds like a weak argument, but that's based solely on this article with minimal background information.
There's also far more evidence I mentioned below. There's way more evidence against her than the article shows including huge amounts of Facebook searches and souvenirs regarding victims discussed here or how she was repeatedly not credible on the stand. You can see the quantity here. The statistics isn't as simple for example sudden spike in deaths and clusters of episodes or the pattern following her to days see here. Even if she was innocent, she should have been removed before, and the deaths not covered up by bosses.
Reporting is definitely a lost art. No information in the article about why she is even suspected. Based on this article she seems more likely to be a scapegoat for a statistical anomaly and bereaved parents lashing out.
That was my concern initially but there's way more evidence against her than the article shows including huge amounts of Facebook searches and souvenirs regarding victims discussed here or how she was repeatedly not credible on the stand.

Even if she was innocent, she should have been removed before, and the deaths not covered up by bosses.
Thank you. The article should have at least put some of that in there, just saying that 14 doctors testified that there was no foul play is pretty misleading...
Yep, its just all about clicks though...
UK has some problems in the area of convictions (like other places too)
