I’ve definitely asked this question some time ago back when we were originally hearing about this baby, and in the responses I got, what stuck out for me was this:As someone has mentioned before somewhere & which is a very good point imo if she was trying to kill baby i
Then why would she draw attention to the baby by pointing out he/she looked pale.
It just doesn't add up really.
If Letby attacked the baby, the alleged ‘plan’ would be for the designated nurse to find the baby deteriorating, not Letby. If I remember correctly, the designated nurse started pottering around at the desk or something, and so Letby had to say or do something to get the nurse cotside. Otherwise, if the baby died, the last person who looked after the baby would have been Letby. So it was a way of placing distance between her and the baby collapsing.
The “how dark was the room” situation all feels a bit like a red herring to me. The overall biggest thing for me with this scenario, is why any nurse would say “she looks pale”. If she thought the baby was pale she’d be right over to the cot herself, no thought involved. I think this is what set off the designated nurse’s spidey senses, even though they’re now talking about the lighting in the room.
