Exactly this!!!I’ve read back over the prosecution’s opening statement about Baby F on The Standard.
Baby F had TPN delivered at 4pm
Letby hung the bag at 12:30am
The next day doctor instructed the nursing staff to stop the TPN via the longline and provide dextrose and move the TPN to a peripheral line while a new long line was put in. All fluids were interrupted at 11am while a new long line was put in.
Notice there was no mention of providing a new bag at this point? However a new bespoke bag was delivered at 4pm. He was then taken off TPN at 6pm and began to improve with no further problems.
I think the first TPN bag was transferred over to the new line, the new line got contaminated and that’s why his problems continued after having a new bag delivered later in the afternoon.
I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing that we are all discussing timings and bags etc...
I'd like to think this is what the jury will be doing to ensure they conclude the right verdict beyond all reasonable doubt. Whilst you might have (say) 8 who are easily convinced based just on the fact the bag was contaminated regardless, you are bound to get a couple of jurors asking and analysing just as we are.
Healthy debate is good. Sly snipes and comments at members isn't....
