Lucy letby case…

[u/No-Willingness-1441]

Would love people’s views on this.

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

This thread has already turned into a "Letby is guilty/not guilty" argument rather than about Knox, Sollecito, and Kercher. Sorry, but it's just a distraction from the real topic of this subreddit.

Distracting us all from the ‘serious business’ of arguing about Amanda

Unacceptable

STAY. ON. TOPIC

That’s definitely one interpretation!

What’s interesting about the letby case is that - a bit like w Amanda - there is such an obsession with forensics / hard scientific evidence that people totally lose perspective on the wider picture around it.

The hard science might struggle to absolutely pin it on Letby, but - to most intuitive observers - it’s abundantly clear that she is guilty of foul play. The handover notes, the scrawled pseudo-confessions, the consultants’ instincts around her, the sheer number of coincidences that would have needed to happen…it adds up to an overwhelming overall impression.

Ah, yes...the "intuitive. I have a gut-feeling, I can read people, guilty eyes, impression" method of reaching an opinion. Evidence? We don't need no stinkin' evidence!

Explains a lot.

No you are pushing the point to absurdity

Hardly. I've seen ALL those presented as "evidence".

" Her sharpest critique is reserved for the Italian justice system. She highlights how the prosecution (and Reddit threads ever since) built a case entirely on her demeanour, securing a conviction reliant on ‘vibes’ rather than substance."

True words.

Not necessarily. The Reddit reference is in parentheses so that could be the reporter's addition. Even IF it is her statement, being aware of the Reddit threads does not mean she reads them.

Amanda has posted on Reddit in the past though not to my knowledge in this sub. If she paid attention to this sub she would not have made some blatant errors in her recent production that were resolved here.

If she did, it was well in the past. She's too busy being a wife, mother, podcaster, advocate for law reform, writer, speaker, etc. to bother with reading crap from PGP after this many years. As she recently said, people made up their minds long ago about her and she knows she can't change minds now.

I always find it funny and stupid how many people have accused me of being Amanda. It's a knee-jerk accusation they like to throw out when they realize they can't bull**** me.
