She was a very unwell person. To take those poor babies lives, is pure evil.
Atheist or not there's no justification for her actions.

@Purplerain78 Letby was assessed several times over her mental state. There was nothing unusual. Her defence lawyer was Ben Myers, the best in the country. He did not use it in her defence, nor did he say there were mitigating circumstances to reduce her sentence.
Criminal psychologists are now trying to suggest a reason for her behaviour.

@SW-User Her case is similar to the Beverly Allett one. Munchousen by proxy. Regardless she murdered babies. There's still no justification for it

@Purplerain78 yet that was not used either by the defence team or the prosecution. Maybe it was thrown out by the judge.
There was a book written about Allett, which included her methods. Letby must have read it, but why did the paediatricians not have it in their training. Letby had additional sadistic methods too, like putting objects down a haemophiliac’s throat to make him bleed.
Allett admits her guilt and is aware of her crime, Letby is not.
