Oh YOU looked at the evidence? Ok, nothing more to do here boys, time to shut down the courts and legal institutions, we found a much better way to do things. Why haven't we thought about contacting you sooner?

You think there is no deception possible in this world? Imagine you killed someone and afterwards it turns out a mistake was made in the process?

Dude what?

There’s a note in her handwriting admitting she did it.

All the babies that died, died whilst she was on shift at a infinitely higher rate than what was normal

The text messages on her phone link to the dates of when the babies were killed.

People can often be locked up or sentenced under some pretty circumstantial evidence, but that is not the case here.
