Be interesting to know what the little angels parents think about it all. If they have any doubts on whether she's guilty or not.

BM will be frantically contacting the stats guy & the scientists after the sympathy note draft for a still alive baby!!
How does the jury returning their verdict work? Do you get much warning? How long is it likely to take? I live miles away so I don't know if it's possible logistically but I would go to watch the verdict-it's crazy to travel all that way again for what I assume is a very short time just finding her guilty or not but I would so do it to witness history and see one of the country's most evil women go down for her crimes. I don't suppose I'd be able to get there in time for it though unless I literally stayed over in Manchester for days which I'm not doing!
He would absolutely not lie in court, its more than his career and the trial are worth. There has clearly been a mistake in what was agreed as evidence. It would not be BM's job to check the agreed evidence with her, it will have been her solicitors, likely a legal exec who did that kind of work that isn't drafting legal documents per se. I can easily see how the mistake has been made. It shouldn't have been made, but in the circumstances of hundreds of thousands of pieces of paper, yep.I really don’t believe Ben Myers would lie in court.
But I don’t understand how this has happened.
Surely they go through the witness statements with her and ask if she agrees?
I don’t give a toss about Letby but it is concerning something like this happening could give grounds for an appeal? Not this one as it’s been addressed in court now but if the defence legal team make this kind of mistake with anything else.
I think they'd want to strangle the living bleeping daylights out of the lying slimy twit. They've been through so much and kept their decorum. I think I'd have lost it big timeBe interesting to know what the little angels parents think about it all. If they have any doubts on whether she's guilty or not.

This isn't a go at you, my emotions are all over the place after the past couple of days.
probably this one with matching bottomsWhat in the basic duck is a Lee Cooper Lounge Suit??!!!
I was listening to the latest podcast earlier and they said ‘Nick Johnson’ and I had to stop and think for a minute, who’s that? Ohhhhhh BNE!
My thoughts re Operation Hummingbird and this window they are focusing on. I know it’s been discussed a lot but I’m almost certain that once this case is over, there’s going to be many more charges heading her way.
I think she’s always been a bit sick and a sadist. I think she’s probably inflicted pain on babies on a regular basis ever since qualifying. I think her methods probably varied but didn’t cause enough disruption for it to become an issue wherever she was working.
I think Baby A came, unfortunately for them, not long after LL had more knowledge of air embolus and she was testing out her methods. Murder may not have been her original aim but I think she got a kick from the buzz it gave her, the attention off other staff, and the pain she inflicted on the parents. From then on in, only murder would do to give her that high again. And I think that’s why they’ve focussed on that period of time (June 2015-July 2016) where she was arguably at her worst.
But I am also almost certain that, out of those 250 odd notes on babies, the majority will have had some kind of injury or unexplained illness or episode in hospital. She could potentially have another 200 charges of attempted murder or gbh heading her way.
I think there will be if she is convicted. I've only known them to be given during sentencing.Is there gonna be victim impact statements do we think? I’d not even thought of it until just now
You’ve made a very very good point here. She was searching a parent from Liverpool women’s from her training, I think she did that search in 2015 or 2016 but had trained at LWH years before. She thinks it’s a get out clause to say “itS NaTUraL bEhaViouR” for me but think about it. Like she says, she’s treated hundreds and hundreds. So how on Earth does she remember the names of parents from that long ago. And it’s not cos they’re significant? It’s just who’s on her mind apparently. She is able to do it because she has their names to hand. She rifles through. She will remember things she did. She will get a kick out of it.That was me, I read somewhere that her defense say that she searched for many parents not involved in this case. I couldn't understand how she could remember so many names but it would be easy if you have a bag full of paperwork under your bed with them on.
This will be why op hummingbird is still ongoing and recently expanded to review the medical notes of every baby on every one of those sheets that she had.
The thought that there could be more victims is horrifying![]()
She refers to the babies and their families as ‘that’ not ‘who’. She can’t even speak about them as people, instead of objects. I thought she was verbally articulate. This slippage is revealing how she views them.11:44am
Mr Johnson says Letby has failed to identify, specifically, an issue with staffing levels for each of these cases.
Letby says it was raised at times on the unit, in relation to the overall care for babies.
Mr Johnson says the point of this case is to determine sabotage for the babies or naturally occurring deficiencies. He says Letby cannot give specifics.
Letby: "No."
Mr Johnson refers to 'sub-optimal care for the babies', from Letby's defence statement.
NJ: "You are raising the point, aren't you?"
LL: "Yes."
NJ: "And you have been given an opportunity to speak about it."
Mr Johnson turns to the Facebook searches Letby made for parents of children in the indictment. Three searches are made for parents in quick succession. Mr Johnson asks what the link is.
Letby: "They are babies that have died and been seriously unwell."
Letby is asked about another series of searches for three parents' names.
LL: "They are babies that had something significant to them and they were on my mind."
Letby is asked why she didn't give that answer to the police.
LL: "Because I couldn't recall why I had looked at some of them."
NJ: "Is that a true answer?"
LL: "Yes."
NJ: "You were checking up on your victims."
LL: "No - I look at a variety of [parents]."
if she’s convicted then probably yes. They’ll probably be read during sentencing, and will be utterly heart breakingIs there gonna be victim impact statements do we think? I’d not even thought of it until just now
Did they bang, Liz hun??????Oh goody!! This is right up the Daily Mail’s street! Hope they managed to squeeze in the final extra titbit of info Lucy gave the world just before lunch.
