Arthur try looking at the facts and not the person.Originally Posted by Arthur Little
... try looking at this woman's case from a humanitarian point of view - rather than from either a "dyed in the wool" policeman's and/or judicial perspective - John. You might even surprise yourself!

Ok ...... different topic, but the *same principle applies.
Had that person been say a paedophile, bank robber, rapist etc. I guess you would think differently.
Thinking as a detective would usually mean looking at the fact and making a decision based solely on them.
In many cases a detective will feel sympathy for the culprit but not let that blind them from the facts.
As a police officer I quite often spoke up to give information to a court which went to the favour of a defendant, when the defence had failed to do so. That assisted the court to pass the correct sentence in the circumstances. The nurse's previous good character would be something the committee would need to consider, in imposing a punishment not in deciding if what she did, when she showed an incorrect temperature reading, was wrong.
As for the nurse being acquitted, it was not a criminal court so ‘acquittal’ has no significance here.
(And sorry Arthur but "See my [separate] thread: 'WHY it's IMPORTANT to *consider the BIGGER picture'." If I understood that as you meant it, you have lost the plot.)
