Well most lifers are given a minimum sentence before parole so if they say 20 years before the chance of parole they will add 2 years on.
When someone is given a life sentence, they will be subject to that sentence for the rest of their life. When a judge passes a life sentence, they must specify the minimum term an offender must spend in prison before becoming eligible to apply for parole (sometimes called the tariff).
According to Ministry of Justice statistics, there are currently around 70 whole-life prisoners in this country, among them Milly Dowler killer Levi Bellfield, Michael Adebolajo, the man who murdered British soldier Lee Rigby, Mark Bridger, who abducted and murdered five-year-old April Jones, and Wayne Couzens, the ex-police officer who kidnapped, raped and killed Sarah Everard in 2021.

Nottingham maternity deaths: Police announce criminal inquiry
Police are to investigate deaths at a trust in Nottingham, already the subject of a major review.

Not anything to do with this case but more deaths being investigated in Nottingham
Odd if true. She was attractive enough that any number of men would have thrown themselves at her feet

It's possible that as a narcissist she thought normal men were beneath her. The man she fell for was a senior doctor. She would have highly valued his status.

Seems to imply the deaths are being investigated for incompetence rather than maliceNottingham maternity deaths: Police announce criminal inquiry

Yup similar to East Kent. This isn't a Lucy Letby type event.

Although when it comes down to it, its probably due to too many incompetent managers.

I think my hospital has reached a higher than normal % in Maternity incidents.
Not looking forward to the work if true.

My understanding the law is that while witnesses can be compelled to answer on pain of Contempt, any answers they give cannot later be used in court. This is the trade-off of enquiries: do you want truth or do you want revenge? Sorry, justice.

I can't remember if I said this but my boss, who is our Trusts Lawyer, said that when Management wouldn't listen to the Clinicians they should have gone to the Police themselves.
Yes I know when your job is on the line and you are being threatened your mind alters but if they had serious thoughts Letby was up to something they should have acted.
We could see those bought back to Court and asked why they didn't act.

I wondered about this. If I thought a co-worker was killing people it would have been police first, boss second.

Another case. Not quite as bad as Letby, but similarly drugging patients against their best interests:

The Policy is Management first and then 'outside'.
Commissario
I can understand why, especially if it's only a vague suspicion (as management should get in additional experts for a quick second, independent opinion), and I can understand why someone might be reluctant to go over the managements head initially given management in this case were threatening careers so you'd have to be really certain of what you were doing.
On an similar note I know of foster parents who got blacklisted after 20+ years because when they had serious concerns and the social workers refused to take investigate they went to the straight to the police as per their training and common sense.
I know in one case the foster parents had an independent witness to why they were concerned whose own training and experience said the same thing.
