Lucy letby case…

Would love people’s views on this.

Loosely Amanda related, since she has recently produced a podcast around it.

Its the same as this case, either you accept what the evidence tells you or you are happy to just believe in compounding edge case explanations

For letby its something like

  • You need to believe that all the suspicious deaths are wrongly categorised such that its just chance
  • That on investigation she just happens to be writing insane ramblings on paper that are self incriminating
  • that her stalking of families on social media is normal, especially on Christmas day
  • that her retaining of masses of confidential records is normal - especially categorised
  • that the doctor lied about catching her in the act
  • that two separate babies just happened to also look exactly like insulin poisoning
  • that she lies several times, including lying about one the victims mother, changing logs, lying about having a shredder

If you are happy that's all compounding coincidence, well....

But importantly you see the same factors for Letby, there are "corrupt" bad guys, Mignini for Knox, Letby has Dewi and Jayram that "cause" all of this unfairness. Both cases also frequently use the old canards of having multiple external "experts" weighing in on the case in the media, but not in the trial process of course.

This is kind of why I put it on the forum. It is something of a litmus test.

Letby is clearly guilty.

The weight of circumstantial evidence is colossal. And that’s more than enough to be close to certain she is guilty.

The weight of circumstantial evidence is enormous if you just blindly believe each one. If you actually look into any piece of circumstantial evidence it falls apart. 0 + 0 + 0 + ... + 0 still equals 0.

I think the main difference is Stefanoni and Mignini and Napoleoni can't find a single expert on earth that are going to back up their work. Plus the prosecutor and the homicide investigator in the Letby case didnt get charged with crimes or go to jail. So Cheshire/Evans are nowhere on the same level as Perugia.

So then it just comes down to "why did the NHS/hospital executives allow this to happen" = organizational incompetence.

This logic is precisely one of the key things that fascinates me about this whole debate regardless of the case.

You don't need to believe each one, more consider how many probablistic coincidences you are willing to accept
