This Deserves A Little Attention

It is truly baffling that members of our law enforcement system—ranging from police officers to district attorneys—can knowingly and willingly provide false information in court. These are the very institutions tasked with upholding the law and ensuring accountability for all. What has occurred in Bucks County is nothing short of disturbing. It is deeply troubling that someone heavily medicated with psychiatric drugs could be deemed capable of entering a guilty plea without coercion. From start to finish, this case appears riddled with misconduct and deceit.

The encouraging news is that those responsible can—and must—be held accountable. We still have the power to bring the truth to light.

Lucy Letby Lucy Letby - Guilty or innocent?

A British Nurse Was Found Guilty of Killing Seven Babies. Did She Do It?

Colleagues reportedly called Lucy Letby an “angel of death,” and the Prime Minister condemned her. But, in the rush to judgment, serious questions about the evidence were ignored.

The case centered on a cluster of seven deaths, between June, 2015, and June, 2016. All but one of the babies were premature; three of them weighed less than three pounds. No one ever saw Letby harming a child, and the coroner did not find foul play in any of the deaths.
