It feels like the prosecution is laying out the agreed facts today like you would in a financial/fraud case and no one today has had reason to accuse LL of doing anything or not doing anything- they’ve just been saying what they did and how they felt. I suppose, in some way, they (may) have been defrauded, except this isn’t missing money it’s attacks on life and a trusted and respected colleague not being who you thought they were.
If you were trying to show that someone had been stealing money, but didn’t have actual proof of them with their hand in the petty cash, it would be expected in a trail for everyone else near it to give an account of where they were and what they were doing. And if someone said ‘I wasn’t sure at the time if it was actually my fault because I wasn’t sure if I locked up properly, but I’ve looked at the cctv footage and I did, and now I teach other people to lock up, and these days, with all my experience, I wouldnt have second guessed myself when I thought we were £10 under because I’m really good at keeping a tab on the petty cash tin…’
I’ve gone off on a tangent, but you get my drift.
At this stage of the proceedings we are still picture building. No one has had a bad word to say about LL (save the fact we are hearing all this at a murder trial) because no one has been asked to comment on that, and the hospital did make mistakes- no one is disputing that. But the death of poor little baby A and the collapse on baby B is still unexplained at the moment. We (the jury) will have to make a decision as to whether it was deliberate rather than being the fluids, the cannulas, the UVC, the temperature not being recorded, the doctor not being as experienced as we’d have liked him to be, birth complications, the discolouration/not discolouration. The prosecution haven’t really laid out how they got to their conclusion yet.
