I think they just have to introduce enough reasonable doubt that the jury can't convict. I I think the professional testimonies in this will have a big bearing and how well the defence witnesses can undermine the prosecution ones.

I guess if she is guilty then she thinks it's better to take her chances on a not guilty verdict

Been following this thread since it was opened and its already approaching the end quickly, it might be worth having a wiki. Over on the nursemum thread we never did one and now it would take too long to go back and list all the important incidents, negligence and facts so it may be worth having a wiki on this thread from the start. If this is going to go on for 6 months, there is going to be a lot of fast moving threads and it will be difficult to keep up.

Could it be if she pleaded guilty she would be sent to prison for life as no way would she get early release, so her only hope of freedom is pleading not guilty ( unless of course she actually is !)….

I agree but I remember seeing a request for a case like this before and I don’t think the mods were too keen. Might have been Archee battersbea?

I guess there’s a few things to consider,
- what if she didn’t do it? Everyone has a right to a fair trial
- what if she did do it but due to some kind of mental health reason didn’t believe she was harming them?
- what if she wants everyone to know what she’s done? If she pleaded guilty this wouldn’t go to trial or would any of the information be public.

I guess there a lots of reasons!

Yeah you’re right: it’s just unthinkable to think any of that re wanting people to know and it be in the public domain what she has done

I get what you mean! 5 boys and 2 girls for the murder charges and 5 boys and 5 girls for attempted murders.
Interestingly, back in 2020 the charge was murder of 5 boys and 3 girls, and attempted murder of 5 boys and 5 girls.

So presumably that means one murder charge has been dropped for lack of evidence?

"Police later questioned Letby about why she had tracked the families of her alleged victims on Facebook.
"Lucy Letby's interest in the families of the children who we say she attacked is another feature of the case which we will see as the evidence emerges," he says.
"We suggest it is an unusual interest and we will see that on occasions she searched in quick succession for several of the families of children's names who appear on this indictment."

That's pretty chilling.

Sometimes killers enjoy reliving it by having to listen to the evidence.

I work in healthcare, and I can categorically say there's not one reason I could think of to look up the families of those in my care. My work is work, and once I leave the building it's out of my head. If there is evidence to suggest that she done that, then I am sorry, it's a weird thing to do.

That's an extremely creepy thing to do.
Alot of families were probably initially told that their child had died of natural causes. I'm guessing (if guilty) she was intrigued by them not suspecting a thing and she was revelling in their pain (and probably wanted to see a gofundme that praised the staff who looked after their child).

Or maybe she didn't like the parents?
