Is there a way to pin this post. I feel it needs to be wheeled out every now and then.
Yet some people say this note carries no weight whatsoever
An actual written admission. Probably the only time she’s come clean. Because she didn’t think anyone would come by it. So arrogant at not being caught. Oh but she has been caught. If innocent, she could have written, “I killed them” or “I accidentally killed them”. But no, it says on purpose.We are talking about a nurse being used as a scapegoat, being charged with multiple murders.. that’s not far fetched to you?
In fairness though that surely goes both ways. What seems like a certain conclusion to us could be completely different to the people on the jury.
I read her note to my 91 yr. old mother last week & she said her guilt was as plain as the nose on your face. What innocent person claims responsibility for the purposeful, evil deaths of tiny babies - from a sense of anguish & fear, per her defense? Not me! What innocent person hates themself for being a horrible, murdering witch?
It's about her but I don't think it comes across as selfish. If you were innocent and thought you might be locked up for the rest of your life, I think you would be super focused on yourself, how you feel and what you'd be missing out on. None of us can relate to serial killers to know if they'd have the same worries. I know that if I've had a patient die, one of my first thoughts is whether it'll impact my career.
What are your other 1st thoughts? Where do I hide this syringe? Who's next? Does he/she have a twin?
I suppose none of us really know what was going through her head when she wrote the note, we're all speculating but that's my take on it
Defence opening statement said she knew at that point what she was being accused of.
He said she knew ‘what was being said about her’. I’m interested to hear what that was, were people really thinking she was a murderer before she was even arrested?
He said the note was “outpouring of a young woman when she learnt she was being accused of killing children, that she’d done her best to care for”
If you place that much weight on one aspect of the note, then should you also place as much weight on the other elements of it? Or just cherry pick the bits that ‘fit’?Is there a way to pin this post. I feel it needs to be wheeled out every now and then.

I clicked “laugh” on this (the defence statement regarding the note) which seems an odd click but you get what I mean hopefully. I think that’s a reach of a statement from her isn’t it.
Yes, I do cherry pick that. She’s up for multiple murders and wrote “I killed them on purpose”. That sentence is kinda relevant. She could scrawl any old happy flowery stuff bracketing that all she wanted until the cows come home, write a book or poem for all I care. The fact remains she wrote, “I killed them on purpose”. She hasnt even gone with a “oh I’ve no idea what that is, never seen it before. I didn’t write any of that”.
It’s one piece of evidence from the prosecution. Apparently there was lots of notes found so I’m interested if the defence bring those into play.
Depends on whether or not she's guilty. I mean she could have written the note in 2015 for a we know, but it seems she wrote it when she knew about the allegations. I know for some people, thinking the note was written sooner is significant.
