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.

What possesses someone to go through all that training, to get into such a caring and trusted role, to then do what she's done. To the most vulnerable and defenceless victims there could be. Its incomprehensible.

Were you in court everyday? Involved in the police investigation? The people that did see the compelling evidence have found her guilty of numerous crimes. But…ok! You probably know better!!

Why would the consultant NOT remain anonymous? What involvement do you think he had in what she did?

How so?

It’s not an opinion its guilt proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Opinion is what is formed by the general public, jury’s look at the facts of a case and determine that there’s no reasonable way someone could be innocent.

I just can't get my head around it. Shouldn't judge a book etc, but some murderers just aren't a surprise when you see pics of them, you kind of think 'well I'd steer clear of them'. But like others have said, she just looks so normal. You feel like you could trust your instincts about who is safe and who isn't, but this just goes to show it can be anyone!

Evil woman

Poor, poor, poor families. My love and prayer to them.

bit of an overreaction I never suggested I knew better

Actually if you follow the podcast the “evidence” was basically that she had looked the mums up on Facebook- then they revealed she looked everyone up on Facebook. And she had handover sheets- then later revealed she had handover sheets from loads of other shifts she worked. It was extremely flimsy and circumstantial. That being said I think she probably is guilty I just can’t believe they could convict someone on actually really poor evidence

The parents of Andreas Lubitz (the co-pilot who locked the pilot out and then purposefully crashed that Germanwings plane, killing 150 passengers) basically went down the conspiracy theory route of deciding their son wasn't guilty and that something else had happened, I believe. I would guess there's enough room for doubt here for Letby's parents to do the same, assuming they can't accept it. Maybe they know really but that doubt just gives them enough space to live with it.

The court has said 7 babies died due to wider malpractice at the hospital. A lot of medical professionals believe Letby herself was set up as a fall guy or to cover up something bigger. I expect more investigations and appeals to come soon.

I think she does look ‘different’ from Myra Hindley, rose West and Beverley Arlitt. Fresher-faced.

That's exactly what I think when I've seen photos of her.

I don't think he had any involvement in what she did - but nor did anyone else named in the court proceedings? The court found she acted alone.

She didn't look especially "normal" to me. But I also never would have considered her guilty on how she looks either. I work as a hairdresser and have met a lot of "normal looking" very odd characters. I've also worked with adults with learning difficulties who were good people and who I came to find some thought were "weird" purely on how they look. Not once did I give Loo-seat Letby a pass because she's white, young with an average-meh face. May she rot!

That’s what makes it even more frightening, the fact that she looks so normal - she’s “pretty”.

As for why she did it, I noticed that in her texts, she repeatedly said that the parents thanked her or thought highly of her.. I don’t know the correct psychological terminology but some sort of narcissism at play…

Those poor babies and their families. There is nothing that can ever make it better for them. Imagine the surviving twins or triplet growing up without the others

I'm guessing they aren't counting it because its historic and count never proven but its almost certain Amelia Dyer killed more.

I personally am 100% convinced of her guilt.

I wish nothing but beautiful things for the families of the babies murdered and hope they can live their lives with some peace now, that their grief doesn't consume every second of every day and they have some quality of livelihood. Those precious, precious little ones deserved so much more. Rest peacefully, little people.

May the rest of her life be a hell so unbearable, we simply can't imagine it.

Oh come off it. You’ve not seen any compelling evidence and you hope the court had some. Obviously they did! That’s how the legal system works.

And she had handover sheets- then later revealed she had handover sheets from loads of other shifts she worked. It was extremely flimsy and circumstantial.

Is that the 'souvenirs of the murders' as one or two of the newspapers have called them? Paper towels and blood gas readings being examples, apparently.

That is beyond sick. Why is it that the most evil female serial killers seem to have been motivated by their desire to hold onto a man - Myra Hindley, Karla Homolka, and now this cunt? And then there are all the women out there who allow their partners to abuse, or even murder, their children. It seems that some women are so utterly obsessed with keeping a man that they start to see other human beings as objects to be sacrificed for that goal.

We all knew she would be. Evil evil woman . Those poor families. Shame we can’t put her down too. We shouldn’t be paying for her to rot in prison

I was able to completely understand everything from the court case, admittedly. The insulin..there was debate online as to whether it was actually provable that insulin had been added to the bag and that it was a mistake for the defence to have accepted that it was.

But the evidence didn't seem strong, enough, mostly coincidental and I didn't think the prosecution witnesses strong either. From the beginning I thought it inevitable though that she'd be found guilty regardless. It's that sort of case. And that's what leaves uncertainty in mind. These sorts of female perpetrator cases are hard to prosecute in non-biased way. The press doesn't help.

But it's between her and God now.

What, even considering the material found in Letby’s home?
