Have you met Lucy Letby ?

[brightonchicka]

Just curious - watched documentary and i am convinced of her guilt and intrigued by her apparent wolf in sheeps clothing demeanour - Just wondering if anyone HAS met her /encountered her and what she is like ?!

I have worked in many prisons and often I can tell that someone is in for rape, murder or peadophilia, something primal in me senses danger.

I try not to look up what people are in but when I get a certain feeling I’ll often have a look and find out I was right.

But then you get the others and they are the dangerous ones.
They are often good looking, intelligent, charming, helpful, clean, healthy etc and they often commit the worst crimes because they’re so unsuspecting.

Theres also criminals that are nuts, dangerous and difficult to manage but they would never harm a woman or child.

So what I’m trying to say is even if you met Lucy and she came across as sweet and innocent etc. It does not mean that she’s not capable of what she’s being accused of.

Let's just say that these kids didn't know what positive parenting was.

Duh. You’re making yourself look very silly

I read this with a Vicky Pollard accent!

Seriously though, this thread has been an interesting read so far.

I agree with lots of posts about how people who commit serious crimes are often charming /quiet /vanilla - however i do think you can often get a bad feeling , a sense about someone ( if you are a intuitive person ) I myself am highly intuitive and my personal judgement has never been wrong - even with seemingly nice people - hence the thread !

I used to live opposite Stoke Mandeville hospital and used to see him in the local shop. He seemed normal. My mum had a friend who was a nurse and all the nurses hated him, he used to hang around my sisters secondary school and the girls there were a bit star stuck. This was the early to mid 1980,s.

Utter nonsense. Really there isn’t a special intuition or a gifted individual who knows.
You (and people) are being wise after the event. Confirmation bias
You don’t have any special intuition, just an interest in crime and knowledge gleaned form podcast and internet

I think it’s really obvious there are no major red flags in LL’s background or they’d be all over the press. The tabloids make a huge deal of very mundane things like failing a placement, because that’s all there is.

Full disclosure - I am now absolutely convinced she never murdered anyone (having in the past just thought the convictions were unsafe). But what she was allegedly “like” isn’t a factor in that at all.

Her bland bedroom, childish diary etc did seem a little odd to me. But all that proves is her tastes are a little odd - to me! Plenty of people wouldn’t find those things odd, just like I don’t find taking handover sheets home odd.

None of those things is anything to do with her likelihood of murdering.

Totally agree and this is actually witch hunt mentality (like so much of what people say about LL, in fact). You can just “tell” someone’s bad, you don’t need evidence etc. God help us all - these people sit on juries.

Did you work in Reading after that? I used to work with someone who worked with him, and she said the same thing.

I must admit, it wasn't 100 percent clear to me that it was a joke. There's such a thing as playing it too straight. It sounded like they could have known about her and her arrest in the local area, before the case went viral.

They do.

I came to Leeds in 1985 at 18 and, fairly quickly, became acquainted with the Savile (well done for spelling his name correctly) folklore: "He fucks dead bodies at the LGI." Hearing this was about as common as hearing "Most pubs in Leeds serve Tetleys." I lived near him for a few years but only saw him once, in a Chinese restaurant in Oakwood, surrounded by friends. To at least some of them, the folklore was probably known to be true. I wonder how they sleep at night.

I know someone who had previously worked with her. They liked her and were troubled by the whole thing. They struggled to believe it.

This is true I think cos my friend told me Lucy letby was partial to a whopper meal

😆

Yeah but Chantelle’s sister Shaznay-Brie was going out with Gavin the security guard and he used to let us out the back door and that’s how we met loads of celebrities at Primark and George Michael gave us tickets to see Wham! At Torquay palladium but we didn’t go cos Chantelle got done for nicking a lipstick out of Superdrug’s, and anyway that’s the last time I spoke to her. And after that I started going out shopping with Rhiannon instead and anyway Rhiannon’s cousin Destiny worked at Topshop so we went there instead.

Ahh well seeing you mentioned BIg Gav I KNOW you is truthful

Edit: sorry the quote disappeared. This was a reply to @PhilippaGeorgiou going to a party that Jimmy Saville was at

Was this by chance in Yorkshire? He used to come to a hotel I worked at in N Yorks for parties a lot. (The NHS trusts up in Yorkshire used to have parties all the time as well and he was always invited). He was so creepy to me as a teen waitress, with his disgusting innuendos. My sister met him too and he was very disappointed when he asked her age and she said 16, he said he was hoping she was younger 🤮

@CoffeeLipstickKeys intuition is utter nonesense ? noone said anything about it solving cases all i am saying is you CAN have intuition about people and it can serve you well !

Those parents are NOT a reason to let an innocent nurse rot in prison for the rest of her life!

@LoztWorld of course you need evidence - the lady was convicted … with lots of it !

I think the majority got it straight away though, so the poster did it just right.

You cant account for everyone.

Shaznay-Brie pulled my hair in peacocks she thought I was giving her fish eye. It was cause me and her have beef. She looked funny at ma pal Bridie McBride from East Kilbride and laughed at Bridie ankle tag. So I gave her the look and she pulled my hair. I laughed a tinkly mumsnet laugh and said Haw! Did ye mean to be so rude?? She lamped me

I me JS at a BBC summer party thing as a child - I wouldn't go near him and I was not at all surprised when it all came out about him.

She’s JOKING

What is wrong with some of the people on this thread…
