Lucy Letby

[friedbutty 41]

First whole lifer lady to act without a boyfriend/husband, one of the most prolific and covert ones too. I heard child abusers/killers are treated even worse in woman's prison. When the jail mums taste their bloody justice, you're invited to my party.

^ Eh? Makes sense to me.

 

She's not going to get killed in prison, though. She'll be in solitary confinement for years. The likelier outcome is that she tries to off herself.

[wannamaker 1,407]

Don't understand why people are confused by the text, it makes sense. I don't think she deserves a thread tbh, Life in Prison works well enough.

[harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,689]

She’ll die, along with the rest of mankind, in the 2077 world war. 

[Ulitzer95 12,645]

There’s a very good article from a former female inmate online. She says she’ll get treated like royalty there by the other inmates, so depends who you ask I suppose. 

 

As for when she dies, there’s a good chance she could outlive every single user on this forum.

 

Delete thread and merge with Life in Prison I’d say.

[maryportfuncity 10,647]

Whether we merge this thread or not we'd better note that's she's full-on committed to an appeal. If she gets out, I think the NHS are still a few nurses down! Don't recall anywhere in the litany of evil accredited to her that she ever complained about the pay or the hours - managers are keen on those types these days.

Down the pub I hear:

 

”Lucy Letby is appealing”

 

”I’ve seen better”

[YoungWillz 21,052]

Prosecution seeking a retrial on 1 count of attempted murder, according to Sky News live.

Aye, presumably this stalls her appeal because it might complicate how many murder convictions she has to appeal.

Cunning.

[maryportfuncity 10,647]

The grounds for any appeal revolve around misuse of stats, she has some supporters, then: https://gill1109.com/2023/05/24/the-lucy-letby-case/

I was relieved to read that the autopsies were performed after death.

Love that it specifies « after death for 6 of the babies ». What happened to the 7th one ?

As I heard Seth Shostak - sometime head of SETI -say recently, it'll be very hard to wipe out a species. If two people are alive in 2030 we still have Mankind, just a lot less than we once had. I think we'll pollute and over-populate ourselves into an existential crisis, mainly to do with the climate, but survive it into the 22nd Century.

The "innocence" project continues - https://medium.com/@jarad.adams20/is-lucy-letby-innocent-4dccb4453bfd

[maryportfuncity 10,647]

So further to that innocence project I posted above - the Sunday Telegraph is wading in today, and there's an hour long documentary tomorrow night (okay, Channel Five!) suggesting the conviction may be unsound. Genuinely not sure what to think here. Are we in Birmingham Six territory (everyone convinced they were guilty other than a handful of genuine experts who smelled a rat from the start)? Dunno, might watch the doc, though and see what level of expert they manage to flush out.

Isn't this true in general though? By which I mean 'everyone' is largely guided by what is reported by the media and the guilty decision in the court. Until we have some reason to doubt a verdict and the post verdict increase in information we simply don't have access to the data to make even a vaguely informed decision?

 

I had no reason to doubt Letby's guilt until I was pointed to an article published by an American source, and even then I had to use a vpn to access it (because due to the second trial it was banned by the court this side of the pond I believe).

 

Sure, as is turning out in the Southport (and now other areas) riots, more recently there's social media but that's proving somewhat unreliable at best (and the riots probably increased in veracity by folks who wanna riot for any reason to push their agenda, even though they know it's false).

[Toast 16,141]

I didn't follow the Letby trial, and I have no opinion on whether she is guilty or not.

But with so many charges presented by the prosecution over so many months I can't see how the jury could possibly have kept track of it.

Aside from cross-examinations, the defence had to wait months for an opportunity to respond to any of the charges. How can that be fair?

It would have been fairer if each charge had been treated separately, with prosecution and defence setting out their case for each, before moving on to the next.

(I don't mean that the verdicts should have been given case by case, just the arguments.)
