Lucy Letby.....she might actually be innocent?!

[Dramatic]

I have just watched the full press conference and I'm blown away. There seems to be no actual evidence AT ALL that she killed or injured those babies. This could be one of the biggest miscarriages of justice there has ever been in this country.

It wouldn't be the first time individuals were thrown under a bus to protect an organisation's reputation.

Not that I know of, but of course that could only matter if they were murdered. Let's bear in mind that she wasn't on shift for all deaths on the unit anyway.

She worked mostly nights when consultants weren't available without quite long delays, and the panel identified slow action / recognition of problems by doctors as a factor in the spike in deaths.

Two? You mean the trial and the public media circus? She’s only had one trial. All her requests to appeal were denied.

A therapist wouldn't instruct her to write anything.

A therapist may encourage her to write out her feelings, but a therapist definitely wouldn't tell her what to write

I have a close friend who is a well respected & highly experienced NHS midwife who pretty much said this to me about a year ago

What was she saying though, Im simply asking the question about the word 'fury' because thats a strong word

Ive been effing and blinding today about a myriad of things at work, my colleagues wouldnt describe me as 'furious' though, its just the bog standard frustrations of the job and day to day work.

Said what to you?

Haven’t RTFT so this may have been covered but I’ve always had concerns about this having been a jury trial. I’m not convinced of the ability of Joe Bloggs to adequately scrutinise the complex medical evidence presented in this trial.

Coincidence and confirmation bias. And the fact that cases were selected as “suspicious” purely because LL was around.

There’s no evidence she falsified medical notes, she was simply accused of doing so where her records conflicted with the prosecution narrative.

Really? When I had CBT about 30 years ago I used to be given ‘homework’ which involved me having to write down things like 10 negative beliefs I have about myself.

It's a medical question whether the babies died natural deaths.

Juries can make the wrong decisions. That why our legal system allows appeals and reviews.

All those high earning experts haven't given their time for free without knowing that there is a use for their work on the case.

The people on the panel are not highly qualified or experienced clinically.

There are concerns about it having been an underperforming unit so this is why this narrative is running.

there is no motive for the consultants with concerns to lie.

guilty as sin but wouldn’t be surprised if she gets off.

She also kept medical notes of the babies that died. Letby claimed she accidentally brought them home and then kept them under her bed.
Because she 'collected paper.' 😐

From the "evidence" I have heard, I've yet to be convinced beyond reasonable doubt that any crime actually took place at all, especially in light of today's press conference.

It absolutely must all be re-examined and the decision to deny her leave to appeal revisited.

My previous post was suppsed to quote/reply to this

Why would the police be interested in protecting another organisations reputation? The NHS had no say in the investigation or the trial.

Also saying “we had a murderer on the ward who killed 14 babies and we took ages to do anything” is hardly a reputational win.

Also if history has told us anything, it’s that killers have institutional protection. Nobody ever saw a day in prison for Bloody Sunday or the post office scandal and never will. Yet we are meant to believe the NHS picked Letby at random to be their scapegoat?

She has had two. There was a retrial for one of the charges the jury failed to reach a verdict on first time round.

Ofc it is a medical forensics question.
The panel found there was no evidence any baby was murdered or deliberately harmed.
No victim, no murder.

Lucy Letby is as guilty as sin!

I’ve done jury service . It was a very run of the mill trial so not a long complete , high profile one like this.
But all the jurors I was with , took it seriously and from all walks of life.

The British judiciary system isn’t perfect but I think on balance it works and most of the time the right verdict is reached.

When you watch the barristers summing up on tv programs, it only takes a minute. On my case it took like 45 mins each for both the defence and prosecution to do their final summing up. And again this was a pretty standard case.

Yes that's what I said.

Your therapist didn't tell you word for word what to write did she?

She asked you to write down your feelings about yourself.

That was what I was alluding to.

She had two trials, the first one they couldn’t agree a verdict on one of the babies and so there was a retrial a bit later when she was then found guilty.

But how does that make her a murderer though, without compelling evidence ?

Sounds more and more like a witch hunt doesn’t it ?

Just because someone’s a bit weird , do they deserve to spend the rest of their life in prison ?

In fact “ being weird” would make her more vulnerable to being witch hunted.

She texted something like, forget it, you don't understand unless you knew [the baby who died] Just thought people could be more supportive.

The prosecution argued that this shows she was in the mood to murder another child ten minutes later.

And that is the worst they could find in all her texts.
