Did she, though? This is really my point - this has been asserted, by the CS among others, but no report in the MSM that I'm aware of has actually quoted her as having said it, specifically. If she did then why was in not published in quotation marks?
People are saying it's a trivial point but if it's being mentioned by NJ in order to paint her as a liar then the issue of what she actually said is actually extremely relevant.

A 'social timeline' is shown to the court, detailing meetings with the doctor in Harford, Cheshire Oaks (twice) and London between May-June 2017.
LL: I'm near the park next to where you are, let me know where you are finishing up and I'll see you outside
Doctor: Ok will do See you soon

Letby denies the doctor was her boyfriend.
Letby agrees she had a "very very active social life".
Letby says a future date on the Facebook diary, for September 2017, was listed as a trip to London, but they had to cancel as the doctor had a medical appointment.
She denies again he was her boyfriend.
NJ: "You have deliberately misled the jury about this background."
LL: "No."
NJ: "You have also deliberately misled them about the circumstances of your arrest, haven't you?"
LL: "No."
Letby says the police knocked on her door at 6am when they arrested her. She says she thought she had a nightie and a tracksuit and trainers.
Mr Johnson says Letby was taken away in a blue Lee Cooper leisure suit. Letby says she is not sure. Mr Johnson says video footage can be played of her arrest. Letby agrees she was taken away in that leisure suit.
For the 2019 arrest, Letby agrees she was not taken away in her pyjamas.
NJ: "Why did you lie to the jury about this?"
LL: "I don't know."
Letby says it was the first arrest when she was taken in her pyjamas.
NJ: "Do you want to watch the video?" Letby does not respond.
NJ: "You are a very calculating woman, aren't you"
LL: "No."
NJ: "You tell lies deliberately."
NJ: "And the reason you tell lies is to get sympathy and attention from people."
Mr Johnson says Letby was killing children to get attention.
LL: "I didn't kill the children."
NJ: "You're getting quite a lot of attention now, aren't you?"
From the Chester Standard updates from Friday -
BBM - she first says she had a nightie tracksuit and trainers, then admits she was not taken away in her pyjamas. Then she says it was the first arrest she was taken away in her pyjamas, NJ asks if she would like to see the video, LL does not respond.
So I’m just this brief back and forth we have LL admitting to have lied, then attempting IMO to backtrack yet again and say it was the first arrest she was taken away in her pyjamas. NJ offers to show the video of this and she refuses to answer.
I think LL is saying that for one arrest she was taken from the house wearing a tracksuit over a nightie. But for her first arrest she claims to have been taken from her home wearing just pyjamas. If this were true IMO she would have wanted the video to be shown to the jury, why refuse to respond when NJ offers to show the video if she is telling the truth about what she was wearing when taken from her home during her first arrest? NJ is accusing her of misleading the jury, if she knew she was telling the truth about this wouldn’t she have said ‘play the video of my first arrest’?
IMO LL knew the video would contradict with her claim of wearing pyjamas.
I will look back for the quote from her first day of direct examination when BM was questioning her, and she is talking about being taken from her home whilst wearing pyjamas.
MOO
