I hope so! She seems quite headstrong so I can imagine her doing it, even against Myer's advice if she decided that's what she wanted to do.
You leave boofle alone, he’s a dog not a teddy bear lol
Is it normal for nurses to attend funerals in these sorts of circumstances?And then I wanted to go to (Child I’s) funeral. I was unfortunately working at the time so didn’t go.”
Shown her photograph of the card, the officer asked: “Can you explain, Lucy, what that is?”
Letby said: “Yeah, I sent a sympathy card to the parents ‘cos I wasn’t able to attend the funeral.”
The detective said: “OK, is this normal practice, Lucy?”
Letby replied: “No. Well, it’s not very often that we would get to know a family as well as we did with (Child I).”
The detective said: “OK, is there a reason why you didn’t go to the funeral?”
Letby said: “I was working. I wasn’t able to change my shift. It was suggested that I could send a card via one of the other nurses who was going.”
Two things noted. One- interesting that another nurse DID go to the funeral. Two- I notice she avoids saying WHO suggested she send a card.
Lucy Letby 'took photo of sympathy card to remember kind words'
NURSE Lucy Letby photographed a sympathy card sent to the grieving parents of a baby girl to remember her “kind words”, a court has heard.www.chesterstandard.co.uk
Somewhat.
Even if she broke down in tears and was barely coherent, I feel it would be in her favour to show her true face to the jury. IMO.
No idea. @marynnu might know. I wonder if the whole unit was sent an invite or just the nurse who was going.
We can't say if her behaviour was "innocent" or at odds with what Dr Evans and all the other experts have said is, in their opinion, the most likely explanation for each case.
If she is guilty and she attended the funeral
Thank god she couldnt change her shift, if guilty!
Hmm I hadn’t thought of that before, the possibility that the parents may have extended an invite, perhaps to the unit or perhaps to the nurses who’d been involved in direct care. If LL had been invited, and was unable to go, then it makes the sympathy card more acceptable. JMO.
It seems unlikely IMO LL would have had a personal invite, as Baby I's mother didn't seem to be her biggest fan. It's the wording in the card and taking a photo of it, that's the weirdest part IMO.
It’s not strange considering anything involving writing she keeps like the handover notes and all the other notes as well. Strange for us not strange for her. I can see how someone would place value on such things, the writing is personal and of high value. Emotional attachment to personal correspondence is normal IMO. That sense of connection is normal. People normally value their connections with people above all other things.
Emotional attachment to a sympathy card you wrote to a family and baby you barely knew is not in any way normal IMO. Her explanation that she kept it so she could look back at the "kind" words she wrote to "that family" as she called them, is not normal IMO.
Im not sure, but I suspect that, IF GUILTY, she treated others in objectifying way.
What about the evidence of all of the other medical experts, doctors and Dr Bohin? Her character and behaviour aren't at all at odds with their testimony in my opinion. At times her character appears arrogant and insensitive at the very least. Her behaviour is at times highly suspicious. I really hope she does take the stand, but I'm not convinced it would be in her favour.
