Lucy Letby infant murders trial

All this forcing people to attend basically hinges on wanting to have a feeling of almost revenge. But that does then rely on the perpetrator actually being bothered by what they've done. If they've shown no contrition to that point I wouldn't particularly want to see them smirking or looking completely disinterested when they're sentenced.
Impossible to know what you would want if you were a family member in that situation. Reading out a victim impact statement is obviously something many want to do.

But there's part of me that thinks telling someone who is capable of committing such heinous acts how much devastation those acts have caused must bring them some satisfaction.

Maybe the best course of action is to treat her as worthless and not give her the attention she seemed to crave. Just sentence her to full life tariff and ignore her.
 
They should’ve made those twats in charge of the trust who did nothing attend those impact statement readings
Is there a point where negligence in these extreme cases becomes criminal? Like say hypothetically a police officer or fireman runs away from an emergency in cowardice instead of saving someone in distress resulting in their death (hopefully that would never happen!) - or in this case management of an NHS trust let a monstrous serial killer murder innocent babies and do nothing?

Surely there's a point where that becomes criminal and not just "gross negligence"?
