The Karen Read retrial recently finished in the USA is similar for anyone interested in alleged cover ups by those in charge.
This is what happens when people are given deference and the assumption of higher ethical standards based only on the job they choose to do. We believed priests because they were priests and in this case it seems that doctors were believed because they were doctors.
It is utter nonsense to assume that a group of people are more honest or ethical or have higher moral standards based only on their job or qualification or the field in which they choose to work.

Good piece by the Irish Times London correspondent this evening....
www.irishtimes.com
Letby’s case is now being examined by the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC). Political pressure is growing on it to speed up its examination and, if it finds it warranted, to refer the case back to the courts as a potential miscarriage of justice.
On Tuesday, it emerged that Cheshire police had arrested three managers who worked at the hospital between 2015 and 2016, as part of an investigation into possible gross negligence manslaughter. Police said it did not “impact on the convictions of Letby”. That is a truism. Only a court decision can have an impact on her conviction.
All the while, a public inquiry chaired by appeal court judge Kathryn Thirlwall trundles along. It was established with its starting point the assumption that Letby is a remorseless mass murderer. Yet in the background swirls a growing campaign that maintains her conviction is unsafe. The inquiry’s report has been delayed until next year.
