Sorry still catching up so here are a few thoughts, cba quoting because the message would be huge. Still will be but, ah well.
Sorry in advance if I pick up on something you've said it's not directly aimed at anyone.
Tv programme wise, I can't see the prosecution pushing it heavily. Or at least it wouldn't be smart prosecution if they did.
They are wanting to highlight how uncommon crashes are and the significance of air in the bowels- programme shows that happens without a twisted nurse making it happen. Maybe they could use it to play into Lucy's boredom of having to do general feeding duties
In respects of the eye witness testimonials, Defence has already outlined their approach to it.
There was a line in the opening can't remember the wording but essentially making a point of.
How a nurse standing by a cot would not be unusual or arouse suspicion. However, cast a shadow of guilt on that nurse alters people's perception of the event entirely.
Personally if I had been through the trauma those parents had, I'd drive myself insane going over, and over every interaction that nurse had with my baby.
Would I see a sympathetic smile as malicious, probably.
Would I pick up on everything that nurse said to me and look back at it differently, yes.
I'd want justice for my child.
I have nothing but absolute respect for every single one of those families, doesn't mean that their testimonials are mis remembering or fabricated. It means that they now have a different perception of the event.
It's the reason that eye witness testimonials are the easiest to disprove. They are also the most emotive for the jury though.
There is one statement that I don't think can be disproved and that was the mother who dropped off the feed at 9pm, there are phone records and other details surrounding that one in those instances.
Sorry for the essay, I had a lot to catch up on thread wise
