Point I'm making is when you make a NG verdict you believe there is reasonable doubt she hasn't killed or attempted to kill even one of those babies. And NG verdict doesn't come with conditions. It comes with the freedom to do whatever you want, however you want. She could write a book or she could work as a nanny to a foreign family not aware of her history. She could take an office job or move to Oman as a nurse under a different name or volunteer in South America.

There is also no guarantee the NMC would strike her off if she was found NG of all charges. Just being on trial isn't enough. Especially if she launches a grievance with Ben Myers KC.
You can't just send someone to prison for life if you aren't 100 percent they did it. This happens all the time if the prosecution isn't strong enough to secure a conviction.

Name changes are very easy and a LOT of people have no idea about the trial.
That would also mean falsifying all her qualifications into a false name. Also when you move abroad the regulatory body contacts the regulatory body of the country you previously practiced in/qualified for a certificate of good standing.

Exactly. And that is why it isn't reasonable to expect that she will be struck off the NMC (plenty of negligent doctors and nurses aren't) or that she will just fade away or write a book. If she's NG, she's done nothing wrong and can live however she wants to - you can't pick and choose what happens to her. Just making the point that irrespective of whether the prosecution wins or loses, how would anyone here really feel about their babies being treated by her. And in that context, understanding whether her behaviour is just odd or criminal.

Sorry if this has already been said🤦‍♀️. But hearing all this evidence/ text message etc is awful, and certainly points to Letby from a circumstantial point of view - ie she was alwayson shift etc.
But....the jury have got to her find her guilty beyond all reasonable doubt. I think that is going to be the difficulty here, and the reason why she has chosen to run a trial rather than plead guilty at the earliest opportunity .
Apologies if this has already been said- these threads are moving at such as fast pace!

There are a LOT of countries where forged certificates are used. There are men on the sex register here who end up with teaching jobs in developing countries. Nurses with BS qualifications in Emirati countries. The medical sector isn't as regulated in many places because it isn't public sector. If your life is over in one country, it isn't unreasonable to expect you'd want to move, change your name and start a new life where no one knows you.

Was the Beverley Allitt case a lot more clear cut than Lucy's?
 
I find this so hard because my gut is that she's guilty but I agree with a lot of people who have said there hasn't been enough evidence so far to say yes 100% she's guilty.

All along I've been thinking "what would prompt someone to suddenly start killing babies?!" But after todays evidence I'm thinking she was OBSESSED with her work... wanted a bit more "interesting" things to happen at work, wanted some more drama and to be the one to save the day. I'm even thinking she didn't intend to kill originally. Maybe she'd been contemplating something for a while but couldn't bring herself to do anything, then that one day she got onto shift and thought right if I don't do it right now I'll chicken out again. Then it perhaps snowballed after the first event caused a death, she got a high from the attention etc and carried on??

Obviously all speculation but I'm so interested to see what everyone else's opinion is on how/why she started??

I don’t find it strange because the other article said it was because the dad was crying on the floor as she took their baby to the mortuary.
And whilst I understand his reaction, I can’t see how anyone would see that and then the next morning think oh I’m going to Facebook search him 🤷🏻‍♀️

I said gallows humour and it's often used after traumatic events for example I was assaulted last week at work by a patient. I said to another colleague at least I get to go home early silver linings and all.
I honestly wasn't referring to you but rather the two people I had actually quoted earlier. I don't know if I even saw your comment.
 
Not the same? Facing someone, someone speaking to you, asking you questions is what I’d find hard. Looking up on Facebook seeing how they are doing from afar is totally different and they aren’t aware of it so it’s not like it would affect them as there is no interaction.
And I totally get what you’re saying, but then she still put herself in the room with their other baby on numerous occasions?

She could have just switched to somewhere fast paced like A&E?

No not unreasonable to want to elope - bit far fetched to think she’ll change her name, create a fake passport and birth certificate in said name for ID when applying for these jobs, create fraudulent nursing qualification documents, and move to a developing country where there is poor regulation of medical professionals. Seems far fetched in my opinion.

This case is huge so if she is found not guilty and released, wherever she moves to there’s bound to be reporters who would seek to find out where she has moved to as it would sell papers. Surely she could get a different job in a new country and use her own identity and keep a low profile. If she isn’t guilty I’m sure she’d be that traumatised from everything that she wouldn’t want to return to nursing.
