It would be quite difficult not to show emotion at those closing words whether you were guilty or not

“On another piece of paper, she wrote: 'I don’t deserve to live. I killed them on purpose because I’m not good enough”.
“'I am a horrible evil person' and in capital letters, 'I AM EVIL I DID THIS'.
"That, in a nutshell," Mr Johnson tells the court, "is your case."
Oh. My. Good. Lord. Sickening, god knows how the defence will ‘defend’ this.
well prepared by her lawyers, probably.It would be quite difficult not to show emotion at those closing words whether you were guilty or not
or a phone call..Yeah, using the argument they are all shorthand notes from a meeting with her Solicitor and that it was somehow her writing down what she was being accused of is the only quasi-plausible explanation I can come up with.
The only other explanations are mental breakdown or it was a record of harassing comments by others, either online, over the phone or in person.I wonder if she may say she was writing down what she thought she was been accused of, what the investigation was trying to say about her, but rather than write;
"they are saying I don’t deserve to live. I killed them on purpose because I’m not good enough. I am a horrible evil person' 'I AM EVIL I DID THIS"
She instead wrote it as if she was actually saying it herself, about herself.
I think that would be a stretch and most people would find it hard to believe, but I can't think of many other attempts to explain it.
Baby Q survived, the charge is attempted murder.The death of baby Q looks very bad for the defence, hardly any milk in the stomach, but lots of air had been put inside the stomach. And that death looks to be the one that got her put away from the babies and on clerical duties
And the post mortem looks like the air was the cause of death. She took home those hand over notes home.

I was just thinking that. These notes were made before she was arrested and charged.So the writings were discovered upon the first arrest/house search in July 2018. At this point, LL would have been aware of the investigation by the trust/police and would have been on admin duty for approx 2 years. However, at this point, she had not yet been arrested or officially accused of any criminality. So these writings/the ‘confession’ note were made BEFORE her first arrest. IMO - the timing of these is pretty significant. Had it been at some point in between her arrests there could have been a possible argument that these were written in a state of mental distress following police interview etc. But personally, for me, having been written prior to any arrests is very telling.
Yes, this is what I thought. Those handover notes are significant because she KNEW she was being suspected the day she took home Baby Q's notes. The texting with the doctor earlier. If you know you're being questioned, why would not be extra careful to not take home a document you absolutely shouldn't???Just thinking out loud here…

Also - I believe the more rational writings:
“Why/how has this happened – what process has led to this current situation. What allegations have been made and by who? Do they have written evidence to support their comments?" - could also still be suggestive of guilt and LL trying to rationalise her thoughts on paper/writing down her though process with regards to any ‘actual’ evidence to prove guilt/who is responsible for her ultimately being ‘caught’ etc.
Furthermore, the handover notes pertaining to a number of her victims being found at her home is concerning to me. Patient notes are strictly confidential and should never be taken out of the clinical setting. For them to be discovered at her home 2-3 years after the incidents is damning. She had PLENTY opportunity to discard these but chose not to (if it was only one it could be excused as accidentally being taken home - that sometimes happens after a long shift, but are always returned and disposed of at the earlier opportunity).
All just my opinion of course. But I personally believe the handover notes & the writings found are fanning evidence.
Maybe pedantic of me but patient notes are written in a continuation..It does seem like multiple consultants were questioning her behaviour (Dr G sounds different to Dr R), not just one on a witch hunt. And it's good tbh they put her on admin duties and allowed a very long and thorough police investigation to happen before arresting her. The falsification of notes on so many of these cases too is just wrong, and the fact she never raised any alarms herself (not that has been disclosed so far).
On the other hand, irrespective of this case, I doubt she will work as a nurse again because the unprofessionalism and breach of patient privacy is not good.

I agree. I think it must've been extremely rare to see these kids dying and suffering from this inexplicable symptoms to cause the consultants to be worried of foul play. if they were dying from infection or more common things it would've been a different scenario but this huge amount of similar collapses is just scary.It does seem like multiple consultants were questioning her behaviour (Dr G sounds different to Dr R), not just one on a witch hunt.
Completely overwhelming evidence today.DM has quoted her also writing "I will never have children or marry", "I can't breathe" and "Kill".

Lucy Letby 'wrote Post-It note declaring: I AM EVIL. I DID THIS'
Police also found post-it notes, allegedly written by Chester nurse Letby, including one that said: 'I don't deserve to live. I killed them on purpose because I'm not good enough... to care for them'.www.dailymail.co.uk
