VERDICT WATCH UK - Nurse Lucy Letby, Faces 22 Charges - 7 Murder/15 Attempted Murder of Babies #30

[WaxLyrical]

Any intel on what’s going on at the court? Is it packed with press again, or have things quietened down?

 

[gc105]

For context in terms of length of the deliberations thus far:

The murder of Libby Squire in 2019 (I’m sure quite a few of you were pretty active on the thread at the time!)

Pawel Relowicz was tried for murder & rape. It was a pretty complex case due to the length of time between her disappearance and her body being found.

Total deliberation time for 2 charges was 28 hours - guilty on both counts, (unanimous on rape charge, majority of 11-1 on murder charge).

I remember being so worried at the time due to the length of the deliberations in this case - I had a horrible, nagging feeling as time went on that they’d come back with NG/hung jury. In the end, the jury found him guilty on both charges, and justice was rightfully served.

Hopefully they’re just being equally diligent and thorough, and justice will be done here also.

All MOO! And apologies for the vent, just trying to reassure myself more than anything lol.

I remember it well ...I remember worrying about the murder charge due the short amount of time between him arriving and Leaving.

Yes, I worried about the murder charge also due to the timings. I 100% think the jury got it correct, but I remember worrying it could have gone either way due to that.

Did you ever watch Libby, Are You Home Yet? It was heartbreaking, especially having followed the case from the beginning

Yes so sad

Guessing no verdict today? They seem to have been deliberating for an awfully long time now. But then this is the first time I’ve known there only be 4.5 hours per day of actual deliberating. Suppose when you think of it that way, in this case it’s almost 2 days to one actual full day - in many cases a court day is around 8 hours give or take.

I really really hope that this doesn’t end in a hung jury. It would be so devestating. Another weekend on tenterhooks for everyone involved

MOO

ANOTHER Monday off ffs.

This is getting beyond a joke now in all honesty, how many days of deliberations have now been missed because of juror absence?! @Tortoise I’m sure you’ll be able to answer!

I am remaining positive and hopeful that there will be a verdict, the jury have not been out that long considering the complexities of the case. Please stay positive, a pot half full is much better than one half empty

I would be completely unsurprised by a hung jury and I’ve felt that way throughout most of the trial.

 

[Dotta]

Honestly, I would prefer to sit there for 8 hours and discuss matters intensely.
Dragging things makes me crazy.

But it is JMO

Beyond ridiculous.
Why on earth can’t they start late or finish early? I wonder what appointment could be so crucial that it would take the entire day requiring yet another missed day of deliberations in a multiple murder trial.

Yet more missed time at the most important stage of this trial.
All MOO

I agree completely. If they’d had 8 hour days they’d all be done by now and off on their summer holidays or enjoying this beautiful weather. Instead there is another appointment so important that it cannot wait for even one more week until a verdict is reached.

MOO

Is it just me who is fine with juror absences? They've been involved with this distressing case since October. They have lives too so cut them some slack.

That’s so true. An entire day missed for one appointment? Is the judge feeling ok? Why is he allowing this?

 

[Blondiexoxo]

The judge seems to be allowing this far too often IMO
At what point does he sit them down and reiterate the importance of the responsibility they took on 10 months ago. This is the most important time and judge just says ‘can you try and rearrange but don’t worry if you can’t’

Seriously miffed today, it’s ruffled my feathers. Every. Single. Monday….

MOO

You don't know what that appointment is.

They’re not children. They don’t need a lie down and a week off cause they heard some distressing evidence one day. At what point does the patience run out?!

 

[Honeybirdette]

Neither do you lol
