@nosycowmoo thank you for the update.
It’s fantastic to hear from a tattler insider all the bits the reporting doesn’t include.
The reporting said there were some pauses in LL’s answers and to me it reads like BNE got her to admit to lying on the stand twice, how did that go down?
From the live reporting:
Letby was told she could only have contact with a limited number of people from the unit.
"Did you abide by the direction?" Mr Johnson asks.
After a pause, Letby replies: "Yes."
"So you didn't have contact with anyone but the people you were told you could have contact with?"
"At that very beginning part yes but it did change as time went on," Letby says.
The prosecution says Letby was "given a document this morning".
"What's in the document?" Mr Johnson says.
After a pause, she replies: "My social life."
The prosecution says this "disproves" what Letby has previously said about her contact with the unit.
"I disagree," she says.
Letby is asked if she was "looking for sympathy" when she told the jury she had been cut off and isolated from her friends.
"Yes, it was a very difficult time," she says.
"You thought you'd get sympathy by telling a lie," says Mr Johnson.
"No."
"Was it just a mistake?"
"Yes."
The document, the prosecution says, contains examples of Letby "out drinking" and "going on days out" with members of the neonatal unit.
One day she went to London with the male colleague she has previously denied was her boyfriend.
And then this bit too:
The prosecution says Letby wasn't taken away in her pyjamas at all. Letby agrees this was the case.
"Why did you lie to the jury about it?" Mr Johnson asks.
"I don't know."
Mr Johnson calls Letby a "very calculating woman" who "tells lies deliberately".
What a day! Couldn’t sleep well last night thinking about all of this and those poor parents. As time goes on and we hear more I’m confident the jury will make the right decision and LL will never see the light of day again.
