I'm thinking something environmental in that area.
Right? The fact he didn't record it in the notes is odd, did he escalate it to another doctor do we know? As a junior doctor for something like this that he is now placing so much emphasis on he absolutely should have done.
Like what? And what have you based that on? (Out of curiosity as I personally would’ve probably said more like lack of funding/staffing shortages which lead to unecessary deaths)
The significant rise in stillbirths at the same time as the rise is neonatal deaths assuming the huge rise in stillbirths from 2 to 10 is correct at around the same time is correct.
Oh yes I see what you mean then, I suppose something teratogenic in the environment could defo cause that. Is there info on the number of babies born with birth defects over that period of time? I think that’d be the most telling thing
There were also collapses and deaths she isn't on trial for, I'd be keen to know if the charges she's up for were genuinely the only suspicious ones or whether they're just the ones she was present for and the others are similarly mysterious. There's a big difference imo of her being present at 100% of the suspicious events or her being in attendance at a percentage of them and so put forward on that basis and just for those. I really don't know at this point.
Do it matter? It was just what people did before social media. Family would read the local paper, see other birthday wishes etc and then make their own. It’s not a big deal. I’m sure famous people used to announce their engagements in The Times newspaper.
It's an upper middle class thing. The upper class do it in The Times.
Back in the pre digital days lots of people did it. I expect LL's parents are rather well to do.
I know this is a dull discussion point and I hate to keep at it but I always found it a really working class thing! Obviously I didn't read the times growing up but in our local newspaper it was the equivalent of chavvy mums posting their kids birthday/Christmas present piles all over fb
I'm sure that doesn't apply to everyone who used it but in the estate I grew up in, the bigger the announcement the bigger the chav 
I personally don’t think it’s massively relevant BUT there’s quite a lot of picture painting that all of us do on here so I don’t take your point as totally wild and I see where you’re coming from. So at risk of annoying people (sorry) and asking another question about this when I know people aren’t keen to speculate on this particular thing..
isn’t one of the dedications by Tom and Matt? How old were they at the time because I don’t know any teenage/ young lads that would think to do that. My speculation would be that Letby did enjoy limelight and put herself forward to front things so hypothetically it does potentially add to the idea that she thinks she’s special and enjoys attention
I am definitely NOT saying that’s fact or that it indicates her guilt. It MAY form a part of a picture eventually, it may not! I personally just think they’re massively cringe unless you’re taking this piss
Yes this though, everyone I know who does it is most definitely not middle class. I’m lower middle class and my parents would see it as something embarrassing to do!I know this is a dull discussion point and I hate to keep at it but I always found it a really working class thing! Obviously I didn't read the times growing up but in our local newspaper it was the equivalent of chavvy mums posting their kids birthday/Christmas present piles all over fb
duck me we’ve reached an insane stage in these threads if we are equating an announcement about her birthday in the paper with a sign of her dodgy baby murdering character. Jesus wept man it was just a thing of the times. No different to Pam up the road posting on Facebook to wish her niece a good 18th. People like to publicise birthday wishes for many reasons. Partly just because they are proud of their loved one. It’s so unbelievably not relevant here.
I think it started off posh then migrated to chavy, like burberry. Maybe how you view it is age related?
At one point it was mostly death notices. I remember scanning the local paper every week to see who had died.
Sorry if this has been flagged there are a lot of posts to get through. However, you are mistaken, children O and P died whilst letby was on the day shifts.
“Letby was working the day shift on June 23 (2016) and was the designated nurse for Child O and P, in room 2, with another child”.
The prosecution say this "gave her an open opportunity to sabotage the babies".
Also where you state she got less efficient as murder as time went on, I just think you need to look at this differently if she is guilty. The whole situation is a paradox imo. While yes you’d think it would be easy to murder a tiny defenceless baby. She is battling against the whole purpose of those babies being in a premature baby unit. The doctors and nurses are there for one reason only to keep these babies alive. If she is guilty, each attempt that occurred would have been instantly (we hope) rectified. She attempts, they stabilise the baby and the circle goes on. I don’t think it would be that easy, especially if she was trying to go unnoticed, she would have to be subtle and work around the very system she had been trained for. In reality I really don’t think it would have been easy at all. The pattern also did continue to days, there were many attempts during the day, how was she know which would be successful attempts and which wouldn’t when her colleagues are doing the one thing they have been trained for keeping these being alive ?
I tried really really hard to show that is exactly what I wasn’t doing to be fair! I don’t see it as anything like proof of that whatsoever x
Sometimes killers do get more sloppy as they go too, partially because they get more arrogant at having not been caught, so less careful. But equally some like the thrill of the chase and start trying to be caught. Not saying it’s a certainty ofcourse, but I dont think getting less ‘efficient’ is much of a sign of innocence personally.
I think the evidence showing how badly run this ward was and how overstretched the staff were just gives me more reason to believe LL used that to her advantage. She knew people weren’t doing their notes properly/ being negligent so she could easily harm these poor babies without anyone really pointing fingers. She knew she could use it as a defence that the ward as a whole was failing.
I hope the defence have the information around any collapses/deaths that happened not only when she was off shift but any pattern change from days to nights. Of course the babies in this trial will follow that pattern because its her trial, but if the defence have information to challenge patterns, it would really sway people.
For me the biggest thing keeping me thinking she could have done it is the pattern, but we've already seen thst there were deaths and collapses when she wasn't there. I'm sure we'll get that information in time.
Its definitely needed. If there was a significant amount of babies who died when she was off shift then it starts to look a lot less suss but that being said, I don’t think she’d even be under such an extensive trial if that was the case.
