    Geez the judge told the jurors that they would never have to serve jury duty again because the case was so traumatic. I don’t even want to imagine what everyone involved went through.

      tbh, i don’t think it’s common to do more than one jury service in your life anyway. My dad is gone 60 and he has only done one recently. i’m 30 and have not done one

    Guilty verdict not a surprise after reading about the case earlier this year. Having a nurse on the wards supposedly looking after the most vulnerable babies in hospital and instead killing them is every parents nightmare.

    Does anyone know if there was a motive? I didn’t see one in the article, but maybe I missed it.

    Either way, she deserves permanent incarceration away from society. “Fucked up” is an inadequate description.

      There’s a wiki article on the subject of nurses who kill their patients. It contains some general speculation on motivations.

      The motivation for this type of criminal behaviour is variable, but generally falls into one or more types or patterns:[4]

      Mercy killer: Believe the victims are suffering or beyond help, though this belief may be delusional.
      Sadistic: Use their position as a way of exerting power and control over helpless victims.
      Malignant hero: A pattern wherein the subject endangers the victim’s life in some way and then proceeds to “save” them. Some feign attempting resuscitation, all the while knowing their victim is already dead and beyond help, but hope to be seen as selflessly making an effort.

    Wow what a chilling story, never knew about this. How anyone can think they can get away with this is beyond me.
