I would have liked to see some more reporting today from the judge about her texting with baby C. I know they have already heard it and it's there to refer to but I would like him to have stressed the point about her texting she needed to be back in that space and the time between texting and the collapse. Or maybe he did and i missed it.
Its so clear cut that the witch was jealous for this one. Caused the collapse and then came In to save the day, offering to take over, like "oh look what happened when you left a rookie in here with the baby, told ya!"
There was discussion on the FB last week from someone that claimed to know LL from Hereford.
she said at school she would sabotage peoples work if it was better than hers and she would fake things for attention and sympathy...sound familiar?
Have you got screenshots? Was it the same girl who said she was in her sister's year at school?
This is really interesting about the schoolwork sabotage. I noticed that her spelling is not good, which on its own doesn't indicate academic ability, as some people are dyslexic, or just not good at it. But the poor quality of her lies under cross-examination showed her to be not very intelligent, despite how articulate she appears. Makes me wonder if academic ability is a sore point for her. I wonder if she has always felt herself mentally superior to others but is ashamed of her unremarkable intellect, and gets her kicks from tricking and manipulating others to feel clever instead.
My view of her psychology, similar to
@Beigerac (great name btw) is that she has a combination of severe Narcissistic Personality Disorder, and Anti-Social Personality Disorder (aka psychopathy) which in my opinion is the very dangerous combination that can make a serial killer. She is also clearly jealous and
witchy, which comes across in her interactions with other staff. An anonymous nurse who was described in court as her best friend seemed
witchy too, in texts that didn't make the reporting. Sadly, Lucy doesn't seem bulliable
at all to me, so I think she'll be ok inside after the media storm wears off. She'll have the staff wrapped round her little finger and keep playing the victim.
I was not getting Munchausen vibes, because despite the needle stick "fainting" and attention seeking, I don't think she likes to look weak. I used to think the attention seeking was very much in the background to her primary motivations of sadism, power, thrill-seeking, and feeling of intellectual superiority (from tricking parents and doctors). But this info, if true, has changed my mind a bit. I still don't think she's at the level of having actual Munchausen's, but the attention-seeking might be more prominent than I thought.
Her brain must be a soup of seething hatred, resentment, entitlement, jealousy, grandiosity, bitterness, spite and cruelty. Imagine being so embittered when by her mid-20's she had a degree, a successful career, was a home owner, had a good social life and was considered attractive.
I also think she has been like this her whole conscious life, and nothing "triggered" her. Maybe something motivated her to finally cross the line into murder, but I think she's had these sick fantasies for a very long time, and probably trained to be a children's nurse specifically to hurt babies, plus having the respectability and status that she craves. She likely started off by hurting or sabotaging them in less major ways (like the heel-sticking torture that's been spoken of, and plunging feeds in), and eventually progressed to murder. It was probably a case of plucking up the "courage" for want of a better word, and getting herself comfortable. She probably built up by sabotaging the care of babies without the specific aim of killing them, just to see what would happen. I also think she might have finished off babies who were already naturally dying as practice. Then when she finally took control and played God by committing murder, it was addictive.
She caused chaos in the ward - making the medication calculation sheet go missing, the "accidental" phone call to babies A and B's parents while Baby D was dying, the not getting the camera in time. I bet she was the cause of some of the plumbing problems - one of them was from a wipe being shoved down the sink. There's a saying, when the cat and dog are fighting, the mouse runs free. So she causes chaos so she can sneak around undetected. I bet she has been doing that for a very long time.
My impression of her parents - from what I read, not what I briefly saw in person - is that they believe their perfect baby is innocent, but they know she's going down. I strongly suspect that Lucy was heavily spoiled as a child, especially emotionally rather than materially. Probably someone who grew up to believe nothing was ever her fault and everyone else was nasty and jealous.
Me-rail - I was very gifted as a child (in reality, I was just an early developer mentally), and my dad would not stop boasting about me, and making me feel better than everyone else. He would judge and dismiss my friends behind their backs, and boast about my supposed abilities to everyone he met - this was literally when I was toddler to primary-school age. I had a real nasty streak as a child, thought I was better than everyone and was consumed with jealousy about others' achievements, and was really horrible until the age of about 15. I imagine Lucy to be like this x 1000, and never maturing out of it.
