Louise Woodward The Killer Nanny. did she do it?

[HeckinMiffed]

This was such a huge case when I was younger. Anyone else watching?
I always thought she didnt deliberately kill the baby.

Intrusive, thoughts I think they might be more common then you might think after childbirth ,i had them I was really focused on cot death ,and I didn't enjoy the the first six months of either of my babies lives because of them ,I was a mental health nurse at the time so knew what they were but I couldn't think rationally
I remember a colleague saying after her daughter was born she kept thinking it would be easier to throw the baby down the stairs, she had no intention of doing that but it kept popping into her head.

The Lucy Letby case elsewhere on this site bears all the hallmarks of a "rush to judgement" "She must be guilty" that was exhibited here.

No chance in either case of a fair trial

Its Bern deleted now because of judgement unfortunately people can't stop themselves speculating .

Ohh, I have just watched the Menendez brothers' trial documentary on C4. Has anyone seen it? This case is even more bizarre. Two rich boys from (what seems like) a perfect Beverly Hills family absolutely brutally murder their famous parents. They way they were caught and their defence was utterly shocking. Not sure which side I believe here

A lot of youngsters (on Tiktok) believe they are innocent.

I'm so torn after that documentary. It seems like the father was hated by absolutely everybody and it felt a bit like Agatha Christie's "Murder on the Orient Express" - everyone hated him and therefore thought he deserved what the boys did to him (and Kitty for enabling him). Did they all testify to protect them because he was so hated or because it all really happened? The boys's testimony was very believable, but then the smiling and comments afterwards lead me to believe they may have tried to get away with premeditated murder. I don't know what to think about them. They were clearly not very smart or they would never have got caught. But the whole family on both parents' sides seemed to support them.

“Popped” or to pop someone means to hit somebody in my part of the U.S.
”Becky got popped “ also nowadays means to get shot (sadly).

It’s so weird to get quoted from something I posted back in January. 😬
I remember much was made of the expression ‘popping’ though at the time.

That word alone was enough to convict her - sad that it was a complete misinterpretation and wasn't properly explained at the time!

@Sparklingbrook

Seeing as how you’ve dominated this discussion, I’m surprised @maddy68 could squeeze a word in. And then you mock her? Bad form.

@XelaM

I’m from California. We were overloaded on the Menendez case & trial for months & months.
The brothers are 100% guilty.

American and British nannies alike are not necessarily trained in any aspect of childcare apart from perhaps a first aid certificate.

Codswallop.

(Americans do seem to use the word nanny more broadly than we do in the UK though.)

Wow, interesting. I will start a separate thread on the Menendez C4 documentary so as not to derail this one. I came away from the documentary thinking they were perhaps saying the truth and were unfairly treated by the judge - only because all the family members appeared to support them, but then it's possibly because everyone just hated the father and thought he deserved it.

@MyMumSaysALot The post you are quoting is from back in January 2022 so hardly dominating the discussion 😂
