I'm trying (unsuccessfully) to see what her defence could be. Possibly her team will throw blame on the hospital, the ward, management etc
Read my comment after please lovely.Good godThe 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
Don't accused have to have a psychiatric evaluation beforehand?Which I totally agree with however that doesn’t mean she can’t also be a murderer????(aimed at defence not you haha)
Also, to others, they can’t go down the insanity route, if they were, they’d have had to say that already
I am just thinking this too.I'm wondering if this case could be make or break for Myers career.
It's a big one, and a guilty verdict would mean Lucy is the worst female serial killer in the UK.
If every verdict was returned Not Guilty, it could be the absolute making for him. Given his history and the amount of cases he's had success with.
Just a thought that's popped into my head, sorry if it doesn't even make sense. (I hate the flu)
he could end up being a not very liked man.I'm wondering if this case could be make or break for Myers career.

Sorry WHAT? She photographed them? This excuse of a woman is not right.HOLY SH!T
Ahh the blame game cmon ur better than that Ben"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.
Yes I’m wondering if she'll now change her plea to guiltyI don’t know how the defence will explain that. Utterly heartbreaking.
Maybe they will change their defence to say she’s mentally unstable and go for a lesser sentence.
It may be, but how many coincidences can there be before it adds up to pointing in a particular direction?"It is a theory built 'firmly' on coincidence."
This is a bleeping ballsy and bold statement to make after what the prosecution ended with.
Yeah & I assume they will have done in this case & she’s well enough to stand trial. Also not guilty by insanity/diminished responsibility is EXTREMELY hard to prove as a defence as if she was “insane” then likely she wouldn’t have been able to hold down a job at all & likely she’d have been sectioned etc. they’d have to prove at the exact timescales of the murders she didn’t have capacity which is near hand impossible due to the time passedDon't accused have to have a psychiatric evaluation beforehand?
I don't think poor Ben has much to play with here to be able to start any stronger!Weak start to the defence. wow
Good pointDon't accused have to have a psychiatric evaluation beforehand?
Speaking from experience it’s quite common for parents to have photos taken of a still born babyThe 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
So if she's had one and she's standing trial, they can't argue insanity, can they.Yeah & I assume they will have done in this case & she’s well enough to stand trial. Also not guilty by insanity/diminished responsibility is EXTREMELY hard to prove as a defence as if she was “insane” then likely she wouldn’t have been able to hold down a job at all & likely she’d have been sectioned etc. they’d have to prove at the exact timescales of the murders she didn’t have capacity which is near hand impossible due to the time passed
