A British nurse refused to appear in court on Monday to be sentenced for the murders of seven babies and attempted murders of six others at the UK hospital where she worked.

Lucy Letby, 33, could face a whole life order, meaning she spends the rest of her life behind bars, when she is sentenced later at Manchester Crown Court in northern England. She was found guilty on Friday by a jury, in a case that horrified the country and made her the most prolific child serial killer of recent times.

    If you are ever sentenced to something simply refuse. They can’t sentence you without your consent.

      Apparently you can be found innocent by coughing before they read the verdict and saying “dipshit says guilty”
