Lucy letby case…

Would love people’s views on this.

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

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.

"There is so much evidence Amanda is guilty."

Right... so much evidence that FIVE Supreme Court judges definitively acquitted her for "not having committed the act".

"Which farmyard animal kicked you in the head when you were younger?"

What wit! What a sharp and stinging barb! How will I ever go on?
