To wonder what would happen if LL were ever released?

I'm not intending to state whether I think she is innocent or guilty but I am just curious as to how her life would look if she were released.
Even if her conviction was overturned, it's highly unlikely she'd be able to go back to a regular life, or would she? Would she walk away with no convictions?

Hi @MyrtleLion unfortunately that link doesn't go anywhere for me - it looks a bit short??

@MyrtleLion yeah you all keep saying that, my point was why did her defence not come up with ONE suspicious death/collapse she wasn't there for? You don't think that's the first thing they would've looked into? Tumbleweed on that because you have no explanation.

That link doesn't work, and no babies died from insulin, at least get the facts right.

They did come up with at least one because her barrister said in closing there was one baby she hadn't even seen. The judge did not repeat all of that in the summing up.

I misunderstood the meaning. @TheCountessofFitzdotterel explained why.

@AlertBrickBear well what else do you call it if she's innocent? The deaths just so happen to follow her from nights to days and stop when she goes on holiday to resume the minute she's back? Then we've got all the times other staff members left their stable babies for a few mins to come back to them collapsing and LL is stood there. Plus the insulin only points to her. I mean if she didn't do it that's one unlucky nurse. Then she's probably the only nurse stalking families and hoarding handover sheets, just because she's nosy apparently. Then the morphine overdose in another hospital, AND the frequent tube dislodgements only on her shifts. Odds like that must be a billion to one when you look at the bigger picture. It's verging on the ridiculous that people could think this is all just a coincidence. They're just unable to admit they were wrong so they're doubling down, that's all it is.

The 14 medical experts say that there was no insulin poisoning.

The morphine overdose was when she was a trainee - it's relatively common for doses to be 10 over or under and more experienced nurses know what they should be. And she had an experienced nurse with her, she wasn't administering the drug by herself so there was no way it was an attempt to poison. Just a careless mistake.
