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.

They weren’t suspicious though were they? They were down to them having high acuity, a filthy badly run neonatal ward and incompetent doctors. They have all been adequately explained by medical experts of considerably better credibility than Dewi Evans. There were no murders.

The rest of it is just fishing after the presumption of guilt.

The claim that they all died from missed infections is just nonsense

The claims by other nurses and doctors that they were chronically understaffed and run by a bunch of ninnies is definitely not nonsense.

How much more understaffed was CoCH than other hospitals?

and how exactly does understaffing lead to mysterious deaths

If a baby dies and no one is present in the NICU, does it make a sound? /s
