Not surprised she took the stand, her final performance and last chance to experience the outside world. Also she absolutely had to in order to keep convincing Janet, Dawn etc that she’s innocent. Would’ve looked suss if she hadn’t.
The parents not appearing is very very interesting though. Put yourself in their shoes (as well as Letby’s) - a NG on this would go some way towards casting doubt on all the others, if you were of the mindset that she’s innocent. Of course, for the rest of us, that would be one hell of a reach but you’d think they’d be there trying to grab on to literally anything. But they’re not, and that’s the only surprise I’ve seen about this retrial.
Oh and hi again everyone! Hope you’re all doing well.
