Criminals could be made to attend their sentencing hearings, using force if necessary
Judges will be given the power to force offenders like Lucy Letby to attend their sentencing hearings under new laws.
The Ministry of Justice announced plans for new legislation allowing judges to use force if necessary to make offenders come into the courtroom to receive their sentence. It comes after child serial killer Lucy Letby refused to face the families of her victims as she was sentenced to a whole life order for murdering seven babies.
The jury at Manchester Crown Court also found her guilty of attempting to murder six more while working as a nurse at the Countess of Chester Hospital between June 2015 and June 2016.
