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

[bbsaz]

I’m beginning to think the jury can’t agree on unanimous verdicts on all 22 counts, and we won’t see unanimous verdicts for all charges.

I wonder if/when the judge will accept a majority verdicts for charges.

We could still be in for a long wait yet tbh.

Totally agree. I assume it's the AMs that are causing any split (imo)

4.5 hours is no time at all each day to really get down to business and deliberate. By the time they’ve sat down and recapped on where they left off someone will want a smoke break, then they’ll finally start going over evidence and it’ll be lunch time. Get talking again and it’s time for the second smoke break and before they know it it’s time to go!

I have never known such short deliberation times before, but I remember @Tortoise saying a while back that the jury would probably only deliberate for the same hours as the court days were during the trial. I suppose it’s due to the judge having to be available at all times during deliberations.

Is it around 50 hours we’re at now? I’ve lost count. But IMO it doesn’t seem too long really when you consider how many charges there are. It wouldn’t seem unlikely for it to take 22 days, one day per charge. That’s if there were one or more hold outs who are insisting on going back over all the evidence IMO.

All MOO

My goodness, Leonard Cohen’s music reaches deep inside my soul and touches it.
You want it darker is magnificent!

We've speculated about a juror having had ill health for a while. I'm wondering if this is so, whether it is unsafe for them to continue. If so, I wish them a full recovery.

It sounds like it is at their own request

Further directions... majority verdict maybe, with which one strong-minded juror could not align?

 

[Anxala]

Illness or family commitments most likely imo.

Good that the judge has publicly expressed appreciation for their time and commitment so as to avoid unnecessary speculation as to the reason why they've been discharged.

 

[JosieJo]

So would that mean a majority would be 10 -1 ?

 

[ColourPurple]

It makes me think they're nowhere near a verdict then...

 

[WaxLyrical]

Well, that’s a twist. Here’s hoping there are no more..

 

[bobbymkii]

I wonder what the further directions will be tomorrow. I wonder if they'll let us know what they are?

I somehow doubt it but, we can but hope!
