The investigation of Lucy Letby on Netflix

Anyone watched it yet? It’s a really excellent documentary with loads of footage of her police interviews.

You see the police asking her questions about those ‘confession’ notes.

I won’t put spoilers in the OP but I’d love to hear what others made of her responses.

Mid way through I thought she’s 💯 guilty but by the end I’m really not sure. A lot points to her being innocent.

I feel for the parents of those babies so much, the uncertainty must be horrendous 😞

I just finished watching this documentary and believe she’s 100% guilty. The 250 pages of handover notes (that she knows she’s not meant to have) stored in chronological order! This is on a paar with keeping a box of your victims’ necklaces or similar surely!!!

berlinbaby2025 · 04/02/2026 21:25

There were plenty of experts ready to testify in her defence, but it would have harmed her case to have put them on the stand because under cross they would have ended up agreeing with the prosecution.

That’s your opinion, not a fact.

I gave you a list further up of evidence the defence didn't have before the trial. (I did make one mistake there - they knew about the insulin lab earlier. But what they didn't know about was a third baby who had insulin test results similar to the other two, but without Lucy Letby being blamed).

Some of this evidence came out through the Thirlwall Inquiry. It was Lady Thirlwall's job to collect all of the evidence related to Lucy Letby from the hospital to see how she might have been stopped.

Lady Thirlwall only started her Inquiry after the two trials and the one requests to appeal were over, and the second request to appeal came shortly after she started. So any new evidence from the documents she uploaded would be new evidence that could only be submitted via the CCRC.

I thought that was still going on - thurwell

again - I don’t see how there can be so much new in such a short time

we will find out when the ccrc finally say whether they are granting app

What order do you think they came back from the hospital in?

Most of them had nothing to do with the children she was accused of murdering or harming

Yes Thirlwall is still going on in the background. She has stopped hearing witnesses but still uploads the odd document.

Her Inquiry actually is one reason we have seen new evidence come out so soon. Another is that all the media interest in the case has led to leaks from the police and hospital, and from Dewi Evans who gave shift rotas to journalists. I'm sure there's more to come.

Everyone will always question it because we don’t know why. It’s clear Beverley Allitt is mentally unwell, what was going on with Lucy, no idea.

250 hand over sheets in her room.
All filed in chronological order in a box marked “keep”
She lied to the police and said she
didn’t have a shredder. There was one the house.

Just one example of her blatant lies. She’s as guilty as hell.

cobrapaw · 04/02/2026 21:36

It didn’t change my mind at all, she’s as guilty as sin.
Circumstantial evidence is still evidence.
I really hope in my life time somebody invents a lie detector test that is 100% accurate.
As for motive who knows, she’s killed more infants than Myra Hindley and Rose West combined, perhaps that’s her motive.. Britain’s biggest psychopath.

She was convicted of murdering those children - it’s not alleged

I think it’s of no consequence who they were for - there were 250 and she lied

As speculation.

They'd certainly have ended up agreeing with the prosecution on many points, because many points weren't controversial.

For example, did this child have x infection? (Defence and prosecution witnesses - no evidence for it)

Does this mean the only possible explanation is an air embolism?
(Defence and prosecution - less likely to agree)

Does this x-ray show air in the child's stomach
(Defence and prosecution witnesses - yes)

Could someone have injected this volume through a feeding tube?
(Defence and prosecution - less likely to agree)

They would probably, rightly, have agreed on most things, but the devil is in the detail.

Leaks to Private Eye suggest the sticking point was the insulin cases. The defence expert didn't have a natural explanation for them. So it seems likely that the defence strategy was not to call their expert so this wouldn't be on the record.

Here is the Private Eye report that supports all this
www.private-eye.co.uk/pictures/special_reports/lucy-letby-29.pdf

That was then, and that's why (not wanting to harp on this point) new evidence on the insulin cases from comparison (with the third case that the prosecution didn't disclose), from experiment (to see if the prosecution claims would work) and from broader scholarship are so important to the CCRC case.

The defence had a problem then (2023) that it no longer has now, with new evidence available. That's the kind of development the CCRC was set up to deal with.

zebrastripesarefun · 04/02/2026 21:46

Lawyers advise no comment interview. Doesn’t mean guilty at all

Barbie222 · 04/02/2026 21:48

@berlinbaby2025It was Myers’ opinion that it would have harmed her case to stand her witnesses. Are you aware of his background and record in law? Or would you have handled Letby’s defence better than a KC, with ‘your opinion’?

She’s been in a secure mental hospital all this time so I don’t think so.

They didn’t call ANY experts

we were agreeing to disagree I thought

we will see when ccrc makes their decision

Exactly. And the way she all of a sudden couldn’t remember any details of the events of the babies deaths when asked about individual cases. Even saying she didn’t remember baby ‘Zoe’. And the diary entries…

Sure - they didn't call any experts. Thats what I'm explaining above, with a link, for anyone interested.

You can't just tell someone to agree to disagree with you and stop posting! With all respect, I've gone off and linked to answer a serious question there - partly agreeing with your answer. That's a contribution I want to make to the thread. I can assure you it isn't about disagreeing with you personally. .Fully respect your right to think differently about the case, but I'm adding information

Why would she remember baby Zoe? She wasn't the nurse in charge of this poor baby and it had been three years since the death at least. She helped with the resuscitation.

If she had murdered poor Zoe I am sure she would have remembered and expected to be asked about her, and had a story ready. But she didn't.

youalright · 04/02/2026 21:56

Im genuinely torn. Its hard from watching a netflix documentary as they have a bad habit of leaving out significant information. There are definitely things that don't add up and weaknesses on both sides. But the jury sat through the whole trial saw all the evidence and thought she was guilty that is what sways me to more likely guilty rather then the tiktok and you tube videos spouting shit.

Yet she had searched her parents on facebook, wrote about her in a diary and messaged colleagues about her so its quite hard to believe she has no memory of any of this
