I don't think the solution to excessive sentencing is more excessive sentencing. The individual doctors/nurses presumably had no malicious intent, and it was commonly accepted knowledge within their practice at the time. But, there do seem to be systemic issues with the justice system at play. As an uninformed non-lawyer, this kind of determination seems like it should necessarily be linked back to an independent study (ideally providing recall and precision, to properly update credence of guilt with Bayes' rule rather than a "finger in air" approach) and not just nebulous common knowledge. Then, if future scientific evidence contradicts that study, review of the cases where it was relied upon should be pretty much automatic.
