I don’t know if Letby is guilty or innocent but there are so many questions being raised about this trial and the evidence by some of the prosecution experts that leads me to question the safety of the convictions.
One cannot deny the jury spent months listening to then assessing the evidence put to them but if that evidence is questionable it follows that the jury decisions made on that evidence will also be questionable.
One wonders why the 168 deaths at the Derby & Burton NHS Trust hasn’t pinned the blame onto a person rather than the institution.
Thank you for your insightful article. I look forward to reading about further developments. Can I suggest that in addition to obtaining the transcripts of the actual trial, you also try and get hold of transcripts of the pre-trial hearings. I would hope these transcripts would shine some light as to how evidence was considered to be admissible in court in the first place. It would be particularly interesting to have the transcript of the pre-trial hearing into the case of Baby K where at the last minute a murder charge was changed into a charge of attempted murder for reasons which are not clear.
This is an incredibly long winded way of saying that you used to work for the government and you’ve read a New Yorker article. The NY article was biased, unbalanced rubbish. I hope that your next posts will provide some evidence that this woman is innocent.
I do say a) I recognise this is long, b) not intended for wide reading, and c) reason for it will becoming clearer.
It is actually a set of (provisional) chapter headers around which a document will (& is being) be grown by a team once certain information can be put it into public domain. :)
