A ‘nice to have’ smoking gun in this trial would have been something like a Google search by Letby “effects of air embolism”, or “can air embolism be seen at post mortem”. That kind of thing.
I reckon when he testified under oath he didn't know CPS had all their reams of messages, and if Letby took the stand, they would be exposing the love hearts, peek-a-boo behind the trees in the park, the outings to the shops/restaurants/London.Dr A, who is married, told the court he had been the subject of unrequited affection from Letby and said his wife had also been targeted by her on social media.
He denied being in a relationship with the nurse, despite the court hearing they had spent hours messaging one another late at night and had even taken a trip to London together.
It was the prosecution’s claim that she had attacked babies because she enjoyed the drama of being in a crisis situation with him.
He said he had suffered from severe anxiety for four years and believed he would struggle to give clear and accurate answers in court if his true identity was revealed.
Rare anonymity orders on Lucy Letby witnesses 'will have chilling effect on future cases'
Highly unusual reporting restrictions were imposed despite victims and families being widely named when the nurse was first chargedwww.telegraph.co.uk
Not quite unrequited , seeing as he was messaging her constantly and meeting up with her! I wonder what he means when he says she ‘targeted’ his wife on social media.
That was exactly my point.
I have wondered this too.
I wish we would but I highly doubt it. She was interviewed more than 25+ times but I would be shocked if we see more than 10 minutes of it.

I know this. I'd like to know why, specifically, this is the case, though.
The judge can order it, but if she violates the order he van at most impose a 2 year sentence. Doesn’t really matter to someone about to serve life.
It’s simple. In the U.K., a judge does not have the power to order a convict to attend their own sentencing.
What was Lucy’s reply to the question?
But could she be on first name terms with CEO?
On August 8, Letby messages the nursing colleague: "Tony phoned. He's going to speak to Karen and insist on the review being no later than 1st week of Sept but said he definitely wouldn't advise pushing to get back to unit until it's taken place. Asked about social things and he said it's up to me but would advise not speaking with anyone in case any of them are involved with the review process. Thinks I should keep head down.and ride it out and can take further once over.
She's in custody, though, and is a convicted murderer. Surely a court can order her to appear, by force if necessary.
