Neonatal nurse Lucy Letby, 33, was charged with murder in the deaths of five boys and two girls and the attempted murder of six other children.
A neonatal nurse in a British hospital was found guilty Friday of killing seven babies and attempting to kill six others.
"Time and again, she harmed babies, in an environment which should have been safe for them and their families," Jones said in a statement on Friday following the verdict. They alleged that Letby was on duty in all the cases and described her as a"constant malevolent presence" in the neonatal unit when the children collapsed or died. They said the nurse harmed the babies in ways that did not leave much of a trace, and that she persuaded her colleagues that the collapses and deaths were normal.
But her defense lawyer argued she was a"hard-working, dedicated and caring" nurse who loved her job and that there was not enough evidence of her carrying out any of the alleged harmful acts.
