I’d absolutely love to see their attempt at calculations tbh. I said before I’m a student pharmacist and I am telling you all now, pharmacokinetics has been by far the most difficult module of my degree. There is simply no way on gods green earth that this person knows the first thing about how to possibly calculate the dose of insulin required to reach the plasma levels observed in those babies. I remember their original post about this 27 page document when they were saying that Hindmarsh had miscalculated the dose of insulin required to reach the reported CSS, so I did my own rough calculation at the time based on population data I found (so not entirely accurate), the reported weight of one of the babies and the observed Css and I got more or less the same result as Hindmarsh for the dose. Not that I ever thought that he’d got it wrong.Just to cheer you up. Here's 'the scientist' from Reddit explaining how Dicky boy was responded to by the defense. They clearly also thought her 27 pages were only fit for wiping their arses with too

I think if Ben did actually have medical experts to undermine prosecution then he could have got round what Lucy agreed to by saying she isn’t qualified to determine cause of death etc. he had seemed to be paving the way a bit with this last week with asking lucy her knowledge re validity of insulin tests, but now it seems like that was to just an attempt to cast some doubt rather than because he had strong evidence of it.There would have been no point bringing their own medical experts anyway because LL agreed with the prosecution experts on most things during her “defence”. Could hardly get someone in to offer a different view on the insulin etc could they when she’d already agreed the prosecution version was right
Agree, he did a great job trying to poke holes with the prosecutions evidence but he can only do so much for someone that is guilty. We may not like him but he’s essential to making sure she goes away for life.People are saying BM has given her a shit defence. I’m sorry but I disagree, I think he tried but she’s undone his work by taking the stand and throwing him and everyone else under the bus. Stupid cow has hung herself.
I'm expecting BM's closing statement to be excellent and very persuasive. I do not underestimate him at all. Definitely trying not to be lulled into a false sense of security by our pal Lorenzo.It all goes to the fact that the huge majority of the evidence is circumstantial. There is no DNA type slam dunk conclusive evidence in this case. It's the prosecutions job to prove guilt not defence to prove innocent. I think there will be reference to this in BM's closing statement. I am even going so far as to say that I believe BM will reference in his closing that perhaps the jury might be wondering why he didn't call medical experts of his own. I may be wrong but that is my guess.
It’s awful. I’m a hard bitch who can put my emotions in a box and be really objective about things, but even I had a cry on the last day of cross examination and also today, knowing that it’s over (in terms of evidence). I’ve thought she was guilty from the start, but the “good” in me was sort of hoping there would be some expert defence witnesses who could explain everything and prove her innocence, and that those babies died of natural, unavoidable causes. But there is none, because she’s a cold hearted murderer. I hope anyone who is struggling can take some time out and sending lots of love to everyoneI know it’s a buzz her defence has basically sealed her guilt but I can’t stop thinking about the parents. How must they feel, it’s pretty much just confirmed their beautiful babies have been murdered, and if by chance had they had a different nurse or been at a different hospital, those sweet little babas, the miracle triplets and the IVF babies that had been so desperately wanted, would still be here today.
It’s so so sad, I hope they have so much support
