    The statistical evidence is notoriously complex and easy to misinterpret. The written note of a so called “ confession “ is dodgy and can be disputed or understood in a different way. The two main pillars of the case against her are built on sand. He said about the “ confession” note “ what more do you need ? “ He’s wrong. I know a Psychologist and I’m told that people can put all sorts of things in their diaries that aren’t actually factual , especially when they are depressed and in a dark place. It’s not the “ confession “ you might think it is.
    One more thing……organisations / Governments can be very good at scapegoating individuals in order to cover over some other systematic failing. What if that baby Unit was badly run , under funded , under staffed ? Convicting Lucy makes all that fade away. I seem to remember there was a similar recent case where systematic failings were blamed on individuals instead , but they were innocent…….something to do with the Post Office I believe?

He has been defending other cases for years without funding because the CCRC have not been doing their job properly.I believe he is a genuinely good man and can recognise a dodgy case when he sees it. He knew before the end of the original trial that there were similarities with other miscarriages of justice . These two seem determined to hide and deny the evidence which has now come to light.

    The problem is we do not have all of the evidence to hand due to not being there during the trial.
    A jury is required to convict someone it is proven beyond all reasonable doubt that committed the alleged crime.
    The issue with that it is transpiring that there were a lot of baby deaths in the unit even when Letby was not working. Which creates reasonable doubt.
    Personally I think if the things that are coming out are true then Letby was scapegoated and there is a foul play higher up the food chain in that hospital

    if the letter had been considered as a confession then by law it automatically would warrant that lucy be assessed by a psychiatrist otherwise it would be considered an unsafe confession...this case is nearly identical in many aspects to Asta Juskauskiene (mother of three children) who was also found guilty and is currently serving 24 years in prison despite being innocent......she was not even at the murder which is not contested by the police. Prosecution used a lot of fantasy and the defence rolled over as evidence was created against her during trial....it’s disgusting actually and a full investigation needs to happen around unsafe trials in the UK as they move away from evidenced based convictions to fantasy. It is not at all funny and one day they will have to answer for their actions. A university has worked on her case for four years now and has not found one piece of evidence which connects her to the murder yet the prosecution the CPS and police all managed to convict her with no evidence...all unsafe circumstantial evidence.

    Dear oh dear. Mr Britton wasn’t even qualified as a solicitor when Letby was first arrested before, incidentally, being released three days later. Not even a tip of the hat to historical miscarriages of justice - eg Guildford Four, Birmingham Six and, latterly, Andrew Malkinson, who were victims of a judicial process whose practitioners are so proud of themselves that time after time when, often after very many tortuous years, when errors of process, of fact and interpretation have been exposed, they scuttle away, out of the public glare that at the time of the false conviction they were desperate to embrace in order to take the applause of a society grateful that monsters had apparently been caught and incarcerated. In the Letby case, the prosecution evidence has been challenged by experts in the fields of medicine, medico-legal and statistical, including one whose work the prosecution relied on and who has said it been mis-applied. It is a case where multiple autopsies at the time did not reveal any suspicion of foul play and where after the fact speculation by a small cohort of doctors invested in turning attention away from their own professional shortcomings later confirmed by multiple findings of inadequacy in the management and running of the infant ICU where Letby worked, caused the police to become involved in these matters.

    • @Bob-y7c2l

      Happy to correct an error. Lucy Letby was first arrested on 3rd July 2018. Paul Britton was admitted as a solicitor by the Law Society on 15th September 2017, a little over ten months earlier. He was however not admitted and therefore not qualified at the time of the deaths of the babies Letby has been convicted of murder for, or the alleged incidents leading to her convictions for attempted murder.

    Unbelievably poor reporting reporting here. The families need to know the truth. All evidence not just that used in court so far should be available to bring deeper understanding. Just why did expert witnesses working for the defence, not have the opportunity to defend her? Why were facts misrepresented by the prosecution within an overwhelming amount of circumstantial and questionable scientific evidence. How was a case built on hypothesis and speculation? Why were doctors known to be bullying Lucy taken so seriously, when the medical management of the babies by the doctors was reported as sub optimal and unchallenged. I think this commentator could do with a little more situational awareness. Including about the state of the NHS and extremely difficult circumstances nurses are working in.

    This was not a normal criminal case in our ADVERSARIAL system. She got umpteen whole life terms after a 10 month long trial heavy with medical detail in which the defence CALLED NO EXPERT WITNESSES. Was that because the defence was under resourced and overwhelmed, or had some KC much too much faith in his ability to combat prosecution experts with cross examination alone?. I don't think the evidence advanced by the prosecution was sufficiently tested in court so from what Paul Britton says it will forever remain an enigma whether there is such a strong a case against Letby,

    Back in the day I got done in a magistrates Court. I had done a bad thing by taking another girl to a friend's 40th. When she asked me if I'd taken her and I told her the truth she hit me so hard I nearly lost consciousness, she fractured my cheekbone, broke a tooth, and covered me in scratches. This all in My home. 2 police arrived at this point she had gone upstairs where she was joined by an officer. She had no injuries, nothing. When he came downstairs they asked me if I wanted to press charges. As a man who had done wrong by taking someone else to the party, I said no. The one from upstairs said OK then you're under arrest for assault. I said why he said she said you hit her which I hadn't and wants to press chatges, she had no injuries, nothing. I replied saying ok i do want her arresting but was told no youre only saying that becauseshe wants to press charges. I was sent to the cells overnight and bailed the next day. So it ended up in court which I could have admitted guilty and slapped with a £50 fine. She had been prosecuted before for hitting previous partners. So in court I'm armed with a cheap lawyer whilst she was granted a barrister. When on the stand she was asked a question and she just went into robotic mode and stated 'I used to hit Grant but learnt from it'. We lost a bad character application and so could not mention the numerous times she had hit me in front of friends and could not bring up her record for beating other partners so for her to say that when not even asked was a huge red flag to any magistrate. My lawyer should have said 'sorry what was that you said? But he stayed quiet. Her lawyer then grilled me allowing only yes or no answers. A question was put to me to the tune of 'have you stopped hitting your partner yet' a yes or no reply would make me look guilty. Yes I have, (so you have hit her before) or No, (so you still hit her). I refused to answer and got annoyed because I was being railroaded to say yes or no. The magistrate told me to leave the courtroom with my lawyer for council. When I returned she asked again, I refused to answer and threatened with contempt of court. I still wouldn't answer and so he immediately found me guilty and slapped me with a £700 fine and 100 hours of community service. That is what can happen in modern justice. That girll got away with serious assault, and I with a record. The judges are an absolute disgrace as is the system.

    If you’re handing out sentences like that, you have to have all the evidence and all the expert evidence as possible. It’s hard to believe her defense didn’t want experts to appear on her behalf. Why wouldn’t they want that? It’s easier to believe that they just didn’t want to appear for fear of reprisals from people who think she is guilty. It must be difficult to stick up for someone in court in front of those babies parents who think she’s guilty and want her to be guilty because they want justice and someone to blame, and who were given no other reason for it happening, like infections, staff shortages etc, so it must be her, because the hospital and trust can’t possibly be to blame. No experts on her behalf is the jury not being given all the facts and evidence. There were more words on those post it notes than incriminating ones. When someone writes a confession in an interrogation room, it hardly contains all those other words does it? Indeed we’ve seen confessions written in the diaries of killers, which were much more matter of fact and straight to the point than her notes. IF she is innocent, should she have to rot in jail til she dies just because she can’t afford a defense? We’ve also seen appeals denied simply because judges and prosecutors don’t want to be proved wrong, only for them to be proved wrong eventually, after someone has been wrongly imprisoned for years. Or so as not to upset the victims parents? Other babies died on the same ward pretty close to the ones that she was convicted for, but she wasn’t investigated for them because she wasn’t on shift then. Were they natural deaths or due to infection that couldn’t possibly have made its way to the babies she was convicted for? What about their parents? Who do they get to blame? Are the parents of those babies thinking ‘why do we have to accept that there was no wrongdoing in our babies deaths?’ IF YOU were in jail for something you didn’t do, would you just accept it? More so if you knew you had to be in there until you die. I’m saying IF of course, because I don’t know, but it is the harshest sentence in British law and should be made sure it is safe. And, is finding out someone was innocent of the crime they were convicted of, much too late, or ha ha ha after they were hanged, a laughing matter? Like he did in the video. Nope. It’s something the British justice system, and prosecutors who go for a conviction at any cost and let the truth fall where it may, to be ashamed of.

Or all of the hospitals failings, and the possible presence of infection etc could come out. Things are a bit different when there’s no one person to lay the blame on. Although I have worked in places where if they can’t blame anyone, they pretend nothing is wrong. Which leads to them searching for scapegoats if there is no way of hiding it. I haven’t worked there for ages now, but I really hope they wouldn’t stoop to sending a scapegoat down for whole life though.
