Lucy Letby guilty

[BarelyLiterate]

Lucy Letby has been convicted of the murder of seven babies and the attempted murder of six more.

My thoughts are with the families of the victims.

There is a video that does the rounds on social media - guy with two photos asking who would you trust.
The photos are of a nice, tidy clean cut guy & a scruffy guy with a beard. 9 out of 10 trust the clean cut guy.
clean cut guy is a photo of Ted Bundy…

Michael Jackson was never convicted of a crime against children, it is unfair to lump him in with others that have been.

I fear this is just the tip of the iceberg. They're now going to investigate all the neonatal admissions at the previous hospitals she worked at. God knows how many more there are. Has the potential to be a Harold Shipman situation.

The consultants should have whistle blown and they must be thinking that now. Easier said than done however. The doctor on the news was clearly distressed. Hopefully the inquiry will effectively examine this.

Shows that they still didn’t think she may have been responsible, only bowed to pressure.

either that or they were very stupid on top of everything.

How many times was she reported? That needs to be looked into and management need to give answers.

Agree

Same here. At the very least they should be sacked for not doing their job of protecting vulnerable patients.

Those poor, poor families. How unspeakably difficult this incredibly drawn out progress must have been.

But also credit due to the lawyers, judge and, most of all, jurors. This must have been a dreadful case to have to prosecute, with so much appalling detail to absorb. But also imagine being plucked from your regular life to hear about dead babies for almost a year, with the weight of someone's lifelong liberty at stake if you're wrong. It sounded like they took it as seriously as they could and should. I really hope they are offered some sort of trauma counselling.

Those who ignored the doctor who reported concerns should face criminal proceedings.

Thoughts for the families of those babies who were killed.

There has been a lot of talk about the doctors concerns about her, but I wonder what her nurse colleagues thought about her.

I thought after Beverley Allitt there would be strict measure in hospitals to prevent it happening again but sadly it hasn't been the case.

Absolutely heartbreaking dow the parents/families of the victims.

Sometimes evil people look like and pretend to be angels when they are anything but.

That evil, evil witch. I hope she gets what’s coming to her in prison.

It won’t compare to what the parents and medical staff have been through, but she deserves the greatest pain and punishment.

Power? Being able to wield life or death?
Watching the suffering of the family and knowing that you caused it?

Absolutely horrendous whatever the reason.

It seems she wasn’t just reported but those who tried to raise concerns where treated like the bad guys and made to write letters of apology to her!

is there a particular look or personality, that someone has to have, to be a baby killer?
everyone keeps saying she was so "normal" but actually she wasn't, there were many signs that she wasn't a "normal" person

Ive read alot or articles and listened to the podcast and i think deciding anything other than guilty on most charges was obvious.

But, i also think there were systematic failures across the whole area, and some of these failures were placed onto LL in order to save hospital from further investigation into the management of the hospital itself.

LL is evil, she murdered, and attempted to murder all these babies. Its undeniable with even the small amount of evidence we were privy to throughout the trial. But the hospital and management failed to act, failed to safeguard, failed to investigate and undoubtedly facilitated LL to be able to commit these crimes.

I think the reason that people are saying that she looks normal is that she has a social media presence and therefore a lot of photos.

If I say Myra Hinley or Rose West then you think of one of a few photos. Certainly with Myra Hindley you will most likely think of that one infamous one. Until recently, most people only had a few pictures of themselves or their family and the ones that the press managed to get hold of were the ones printed again and again.

With Lucy Letby there have been hundreds of photo available for the press to pick from. She has loads of happy pictures and looks like us or our daughters. We see ourselves or our friends and family in her in a way we don’t in those one or two pictures of past killers.

This is what Beverley Allitt was diagnosed with -

Insulin that hadn't been prescribed for the baby ending up in the feed? Sounds very suspicious to me. There are protocols for administering medication ,

@TetrapanaxRex I read an article earlier this year from the US I think about medical professionals who kill patients either on purpose, through incompetence of some kind of hubris and the article was essentially saying that it isn't unusual for a hospital to just hush it up and try to quietly move the offender on to a different hospital and let them deal with it.

All bit institutions are the same people single out say the Catholic Church but we see the same cowardly self preservation is most big institutions such as the BBC, Charities, and as we see here Hospitals.

Wish I could find the article.

This is exactly what I was trying to articulate but failed re the Munchausen's, thank you

I think she's innocent and has been set up to cover up institutional failings tbh. Will be interested to see what the inquiry throws up

Cripes. Hospital bosses ignored months of doctors' warnings about Lucy Letby

If they are so confident she is innocent, then surely they would happily place their own infant children or grandchildren with her while she has access to various medication.
