    Is that the girl who was killed by her brother? What's with the other weirdo who just happened to stumble across her body and instead of alerting the authorities like any normal person would do, started interfering with her corpse. Has he been sentenced yet?

    In other news, the jury is still out after the 9 month trial of Lucy Letsby. I've been following that quite closely as there is a brilliant podcast on it. I'm not convinced the victims will see justice for this. It'll take a brave jury to convict a neo-natal nurse of multiple murders on circumstantial evidence. I think they will be deliberating for a few weeks yet.

    Lucy Letby case is a nightmare for a jury. It looks nailed on that she did it but I can’t see how a jury can convict?

    I think the only point that might sway the jury to convicting her may be the use of insulin. Every other case could potentially be put down to unfortunate accidents - feeding tube dislodged, excessive air from chest compression etc but both defence and prosecution have agreed that the only way the insulin could have got in to the saline bags was by someone physically putting it in there.

    How has that trial lasted 9 months?

    Apparently refused to come to court the last couple of days.

    Is she evil or mentally ill? I thought it sounded like Munchausen by proxy from the start. I have been wondering if this will come up in pre-sentencing psychological reports.

    Pfft, I dinna trust them at all tbh.

    I thought rather than MbP, it was more the narcissistic Savior complex like Charles Cullen but it doesn't seem if she gave the babies much of a chance. Grim stuff. Absolutely awful for the victims families

    That’s your right wing conspiracy nuts making the case for her being innocent. I don’t know how they have the energy

    I thought it was obvious that she was guilty, and I'm usually right about everything.
