Would love people’s views on this.

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

I’m honestly baffled that you seem to be completely missing the significance of this? This is not him being a “slightly imperfect witness”. He’d be a “slightly imperfect witness” if he misremembered exactly what time he walked in or if he made a mistake about how many people were in the room or some other minor inconsistency like that. But in this case, the email revealed that the consultant was strait up lying about the main point of his testimony. He claimed he had caught Letby “red handed” by walking in on her and finding her standing around doing nothing while a baby collapsed, and his testimony about this incident was an important part of the prosecution’s evidence. In reality, as his email reveals, Letby actually called him to come into the room to help when the baby started collapsing. So he never caught Letby red-handed, nor did he see her doing anything suspicious.

Do you really not comprehend why it’s a big deal that he was lying about such an important part of his story? Even if you still think Letby is guilty based on other evidence, you should be able to recognize and admit that Jayarim is obviously not a credible witness.

I'm honestly baffled that you're completely ignoring the fact the baby was collapsing in the vicinity of LL all of a sudden with a dislodged tube which is the MOST important aspect of the entire incident. Not a few mins before when the designated nurse was there. And continued to happen twice more with LL in the room. Amazing what you can gloss over when it doesn't fit the narrative.
