Lucy Letby innocent?

I posted a thread a while back saying that the conviction of Lucy Letby was questionable and I believe it might be a miscarriage of justice.

The more I read and the more evidence that comes to the public space the more I think this is going to be one of the biggest miscarriages of justice in British history.

Turns out there's no medical evidence at all

So the conviction has been based on circumstial evidence and a written note authored on the advice of a therapist.

I think a rapid look at this trial and the evidence is imperative.

No medical evidence to support Lucy Letby’s conviction, expert panel says

Letby’s lawyer claims report demolishes case against her and provides ‘overwhelming evidence’ her conviction is unsafe

I still think she is guilty.

She was too involved, stalking parents on Facebook, remembering anniversaries, taking notes home. Making parents feel uncomfortable, one walked in on her and her baby was screaming and unwell, she lingered around when one set of parents were saying goodbye and made them feel uncomfortable.

Just stacks up too much for me to think she is innocent.

Making somebody uncomfortable doesn't make someone a murderer.

If the decision is ever overturned I think this is the sort of case where those who think she's guilty will always think she's guilty. There's no magic DNA that will prove her innocence.

I wish we knew why the defence didn't call an expert.
