100% agreed

While I do comment about Erin, I have not really made up my mind and my opinion will not change the outcome - there is a jury whose job is to do that (and the judge).

Lindy Chamberlain was such a phenomenon - so many TV shows and media made fun of her (thinking of that Seinfeld episode where elain says to the Aussie couple “a dingo ate your baby”), when it turns out that she didn’t do it and the First Nations people were right - a dingo did take her baby. An example of society not listening to plain women (read: not a hot, skinny chick) and First Nations people. And what happened? They fucking found the baby’s clothing in a dingo den - funny that.

Regarding this nurse, it was definitely trial by media, everyone already was talking about it like she did it and we were just waiting for the justice system to catch up. It sucks babies died, but it sounds like the hospital (specifically those wards) we’re understaffed, so she picked up extra shifts. Statistically, if she picked up extra shifts and did overtime, she’s going to be present for more deaths than other nurses who didn’t. Her diary entries shouldn’t be admissable, they were venting and trying to process the grief. Idk. It’s fucked up all ways to Sunday.
