I suspect her defence will be going down the route of lack of training. supervision etc and will try and tie that into her written "confession" where she states that she was not good enough. To be guilty of murder you have to be able to prove " mens rea" which is the intent to kill. I think her defence are going to try for a manslaughter verdict
The photo comment was mentioned directly after it was said she spent time with the parents following their babies’ deaths. My understanding was she took the photo of the babies in the cot for them but could have misinterpreted. I think if they had found the photo on her phone they would have specified that though, but it’s not very clear either way
Were they hers, though? Did she take them from someone else? Is it her writing? No mention of that yet as it'll be mentioned later but which of the above will the defence excuse this with?
so just for context, when she wrote these notes was she working in an admin role in the office and was under investigation for murdering these babies? how did she go about her work if she was under investigation? why wasn't she immediately sacked?
You can't "just sack" someone, even in a very clear gross misconduct case the employer still has to go through a proper process, failure to follow this can result in the dismissal being deemed unfair, and the person could go to a tribunal and end up being reinstated. Moving to a non-patient facing role is quite usual in healthcare settings as an alternative to suspension while an internal investigation is carried out.

Good god The image of her just walking along and seeing some post it notes with I’M EVIL I DID THIS written on them while out on a little walk to the shops and thinking. “Hmm wonder what this is about. I’ll take that. Keep it with all those handover notes I’ve got” and whistling off innocently back home
Just caught up with today’s proceedings.
I am floored. Interested to see if her notes of her colleagues names and why how ect will be considered as paranoia and argued as potentially paranoid schizophrenia by the defence . Speechless for now
"Sometimes, things have gone wrong, or the necessary standards of care have not been met, irrespective of anything to do with Lucy Letby. For that, she should not get the blame."
Oh come on Ben, even your own client admitted to the police that some of the things that happened to those babies could not have been accidental.
