I think it is in part also to protect siblings. Some siblings were unaware their baby sister/brother had (potentially) died in anything other than a natural way.

Imagine you are 10 and you hear your siblings name on the car radio and for the last 7yrs you've been told they died because they were born too early

That would be a horrible way to find out but that reason wasn't given at all when the media law expert discussed it on the podcast. It was all related to the adult witnesses.

Medical expert Dr Sandie Bohin is now in the witness box. She was asked to review the findings of Dr Dewi Evans - who reviewed all the cases on instruction from Cheshire Police in 2017

Dan O'Donoghue
Prosecutor Nick Johnson KC asks Dr Bohin if there could be a natural/obvious explanation for 'clear fluid' being aspirated from Child Q on the morning of 25 June (soon after the baby boy collapsed and required resuscitation)

Dan O'Donoghue
She says: 'No, I don’t know where plus plus plus of clear fluid (as written on nursing note) comes from given at that time he had not had any feed since 2hrs previously, only a very tiny amount of milk..'

Dan O'Donoghue
She added: 'What was aspirated here was clear fluid not milk, I can’t explain where it would have come from'. She concludes that liquid/air was forced down his NG tube

Ben Myers KC, defending, is now cross examining Dr Bohin. He references evidence from a nurse, who cannot be named, who said she saw mucous at Child Q's mouth, he puts it to her that this could be clear liquid referred to and asks if it was could it cause breathing difficulty

Dan O'Donoghue
She says it is unlikely it would be mucous, but says if it was, in that volume, it could cause issues

Just a quick note. In my experience, the term 'mucousy' is commonly used by nurses & doctors to describe clear fluid which is a bit denser than just water, a little slimy or frothy, if you will. As a nurse said previously, like saliva. Mucus is obviously quite different. Think nose. :D. All JMO.

So if Meyers says really skilful retorts, like his reply about the man in the Sahara with the pot beside him, where he skilfully replies " So you are saying it is possible then?' ---that would really rinse the expert on the stand and make the defense look very good that day. But the points the expert was making would still stand---->>>the explanations the defense is setting forth are 'possible' but not probable. And if the jury is looking at 22 incidents, as a whole, then is each one going to be a really strange coincidence instead of a larger pattern of probable outcomes?

Have to point out I don't think Myers actually did reply "so you are saying it's possible then". But I did post that it wouldn't surprise me if that was his reply lol :D

Nick Johnson KC has just read a summary of Ms Letby's police interview in relation to the collapse of Child Q. In this she denied doing anything to harm the baby boy and said it was a 'coincidence he became unwell when she came on duty'

I think the reply LL gave---" it was just a coincidence he became unwell when I came on duty" would normally be a very effective reply. I mean just because there is a shift change and a new designated nurse comes on, doesn't make it her fault if the baby has a sudden collapse.

And that was an effective reply for her for quite some time. Especially when the collapses were sporadic. I think the problem this time in Q's case, is that he was the 3rd baby to suddenly collapse, back to back to back.>>> 3 babies in 3 days.

And worse for her, she had just come back from 10 day vacation---no unexplained collapses in that 10 days? But literally the very day she returns, early in her shift, allegedly, triplet number one collapses and dies, with no warning. And within an hour of his collapse, his brother, allegedly, begins to suddenly deteroriate in a very similar fashion. And he dies too.

The doctors urgently voice their suspicions about her involvement and try to have her removed from the unit. The management denies their request and she begins to care for Baby Q, and then ,allegedly, he suddenly collapses with similar issues.

So the reply from her that it is just a coincidence is not a very effective reply anymore, after 3 babies in 3 days, immediately upon her return from vacation. JMO

We've just been shown messages between Ms Letby and a colleague were she says she is 'worried' after being asked by a senior nurse not to come in for her night shift and that she would be on days from now on

Dan O'Donoghue
She said to one colleague it was 'worrying in case they think I missed something or whatever'. She says the fact she had a call late on 27 June was 'messing with her head' and making her worry - in responses, two of her colleagues are reassuring her

Ms Letby tells a colleague that the call from a senior nurse telling her not to come in had sent her into a 'meltdown' and that she was 'completely overwhelmed' with worry

Quoting my post to say ...

Looks like we finally know the date she was taken off the ward.
A call from a senior nurse on the evening of 27th June 2016

ETA Actually I think I'm wrong. Looks like at that point she was just told not to come in for her night shift and told she would be on days from then on! So there may still be another few day shifts after the 27th before she's taken off the ward completely!
