Lucy Letby appeal

[GonnaGetGoingReturns]

Sorry if not allowed to discuss here but just seem that this vile creature plans to appeal against her original sentence as per yesterday’s news. Her defence team is leading this potential appeal.

WTAF?!

They haven’t reached a verdict on is it 6 or 7 poor other little babies who died and she’s suspected, I thought?

So sad for the poor parents and babies still.

I don’t think you understand what vigilantism means. Nobody needs to take the law into their own hands. The judicial system has already done its work.

vigilantism is what many here are guilty of, you included, have a lovely evening.

If you really think that you definitely don’t know what it means.

Let me leave it with.., even though you are the epitome of irony, sewed up what, bullet proof, what is ?



🤷‍♂️

But you would think that the conditions at the hospital at the time would be very relevant to the case. Wouldn't it have been important for the jury to know what other factors could have been putting babies lives at risk? I think if I had been on the jury I would have wanted to understand everything that was going on in order to get the big picture.

Don't know why some people are so insistent she might not have done it. I doubt they'd be questioning it I'd she was a man

Conditions of the hospital aren't relevent to if she was guilty or not. She wouldn't have been charged if the investigation pointed to the running of the hospital putting babies lives at risk

What that email shows is that Chambers was steadfastly ignoring the clinicians. That was around the same time that he made the consultants apologise to Letby.

I think the evidence for Ben Geen’s guilt is pretty doubtful too tbh.

When he was arrested he was found with a syringe full of the drug he'd used to cause respiratory failure, that he'd removed from the hospital obviously without authority

Actually they might. Colin Norris's guilt in poisoning elderly people by insulin has also been questioned.

He was literally caught with a syringe full of drugs in his pocket on his way into work! Where’s the room for doubt?

Yeah that guy was just psychic when he predicted when one of his victims would die, and unfortunate when the attacks followed him to another hospital

Ben Myers QC requested the evidence from Dewi Evans should not be allowed but the judge overuled him.

A paediatric Doctor wrote a report about the state of the unit saying it was unsafe and not enough staff or equipment.

There was evidence that it was actually better staffed than the other comparable units in the area, but it had a much worse mortality rate.

Is this supposed to mean something?

I'm not sure what is going on with these people. Maybe they are related or know LL or they are conspiracy theorists . It's obvious they don't know much about the justice system

There's always going to be people who think they are innocent regardless of evidence. Look at how many people write to prisoners on death row

It's really telling that there was no witnesses for the defence

I swing between person and AI. Though I think we're doomed either way.

AI, there’s something inhuman about it.

"Is this supposed to mean something?"

ask blossom.

That's the point.

A major trial like this one will have all sorts of applications off to the side for rulings about what is evidence and should go before the jury, and what isn't. The judge makes a decision according to the law of evidence.

If either the prosecution or defence don't like the trial judge's ruling they can appeal it. The defence either didn't appeal that particular ruling, or they did, and the appeal court agreed with the trial judge that he was sufficiently qualified to give expert evidence, within the legal meaning of that term.

The point is that there's accountability at every turn in the trial process. There's been a lot of talk about Evans but a) the defence would have had his brief way in advance so they knew what he would say b) the trial judge ruled that he was competent to give that evidence and c) the defence produced no expert evidence of their own, suggesting that there was no obvious problem with it.

He's being presented as some vindictive half-baked, half-qualified hired gun who gave biased evidence resulting in a miscarriage of justice. In reality the trial process has plenty of safeguards against this happening.

Who knows? Again, if people listen to the podcasts, they’re illuminating and insightful.

She didn't write the weird formless ungrammatical jumble of words, you did.
