Lucy Letby Appeal

I've noticed on some threads that there are Mumsnetters who believe that there has been a miscarriage of justice. I just want to point out this from parents of two babies 'treated' by Letby.
“Our family is deeply shocked by the ongoing speculation surrounding what is being referred to as a miscarriage of justice,” the parents of babies E and F said. “Certain pieces of evidence being discussed in the media are grossly out of context and misrepresented. Misinformation is being circulated about what transpired in court. Having attended the trial ourselves, we are fully aware of what was said.”
“It is infuriating to hear some people say, ‘I just have a feeling she hasn’t done anything.’ Serial killers often hide in plain sight — that’s how they manage to go undetected. They blend in and manipulate those around them. It is deeply disrespectful to the prosecution, defence, judge, and jury — who dedicated nearly a year of their lives to fulfilling their public duty with care and diligence. They took the necessary time to carefully consider all the evidence before reaching their verdicts.
“We have seen all the comments circulating on social media and in the mainstream news, and we find them both hurtful and distasteful.”

As terrible as it is to lose a child if there is the slightest doubt LL was wrongly convicted there should be a retrial

Utter rubbish! This is part of the issue with the 'Free Lucy Brigade'.

If there is evidence of a wrongful conviction, then there should be retrial. 'Slightest doubt' means we'd be retrying so many cases, we wouldn't have time for new ones because someone somewhere thinks or says something is wrong.

Frankly, I'm going to hide this thread now because I'm deeply disappointed (to say the least) with the mumsnet Lucy Letby fan club, it's soured my enjoyment of mumsnet. I really don't think OP should have started this thread and given these people another avenue to spew their Free Lucy rhetoric disguised as anti- "unsafe conviction" with no substantial evidence.

The grieving parents don't deserve this raked over the coals on social media. If the experts are doing their professional digging, fine but not randoms on the internet sticking the knife in just for the "discussion". I hope none of you are ever in such a situation, where people are more interested in their entertainment than the impact it has on you.

Bye
