I can't find any reference to a Sports Direct bag.

This was her testimony -


A photo of a Morrisons bag is shown to the court. It was recovered from Letby's home. It was Letby's 'work bag'.
An 'Ibiza bag' replaced the Morrisons bag for Letby. It was used for taking her uniform to work, her lunchbox, work documents and shoes.
The Morrisons bag had 31 handover notes, 17 relating to babies in the indictment.

Recap: Lucy Letby trial, Tuesday, May 2 - defence begins

Maybe I have this mixed up then? I didn't realise that the Morrisons bag was the other
Bag she used for work but you are talking to a person who called NJ ' Andrews' for 6 months
So, with the two bags and not three as I originally stated the point still stands. She put the ID in the old bag and seemingly did not add in the new papers at the same time.
How random to take your plastic ID badge away from one of your sets of collected papers' and add it to another set.

Ohhhh...... :-D well in that case. Other than the obvious issue of bringing home handover notes, why is this weird?

How odd … I have read that report myself several times previously but read it again earlier today and saw the crematorium quote. I had never seen it previously.
This case gets darker every day.

Lets face it, this is just a bit of a "click-bait", ghoulish angle on this, surely?

Her house happened to back on to a graveyard; the drains are likely to be shared and, to be fair, it's highly likely that any land adjacent to the home of a potential serial killer would be searched as part of the investigation. It is probably simple coincidence that this land happened to be a cemetery.

It sells papers that’s for sure, the more lurid the better it would seem.

Well, they reported a fact, didn't they?
After all, there is a crematorium behind her former house, isn't there?

 

[Parker Knoll]

They did Dotta, I meant more of the sensational headlines they have reported during the trial. As long as “ alleged “ is stuck in front of it it’s pretty much been open season.

Out of interest does anyone know how much revenue the DM podcast would of made with 3M downloads ?

 

[SusanDonim]

It has crossed my mind, given that often in these cases damning evidence is kept from the case, that perhaps once verdict is in, we might hear more of LLs background. I would not be surprised to hear that she was a surviving sibling from a multiple birth. Moo

There's a sports direct bag in that photo of her bedroom isn't there? Thought it said they found some notes in there. Might be getting confused tho.

I don't know if there's one in a photo of her bedroom, there could be. They've only said in the reporting linked here that she used the Morrisons bag and then the Ibiza bag for her work bags, and these were found under her bed containing hospital paperwork.

 

[Tortoise]

So I think I've found the photo you might be referring to. A Sports Direct bag on top of a suitcase which could have been from the holiday she returned from the day before. Is there a report saying they found handover sheets in it, which was what I was querying with the OP?

Nurse Lucy Letby accused of murdering seven babies weeps during trial

Letby (pictured), originally from Hereford, was first arrested in July 2018 on suspicion of attacking infants in her care - two years after she worked her last shift at Chester Hospital's neo-natal unit.

www.dailymail.co.uk

Underneath her bed an Ibiza bag for life was found which contained four shift handover sheets for the dates of June 23, June 24, June 25 and June 28, 2016, the court heard.

Also in the bag was her NHS “registered children’s nurse” work badge, jurors heard.

A Morrisons shopping bag recovered from the bedroom contained 31 handover sheets, a blood gas reading for a child she allegedly attacked and a paper towel containing handwritten resuscitation notes.

Why is a carrier bag called "bag for life"?

 

[katydid23]

NJ first up the BM.
I always find it jarring the defence have the last say on speeches.
Then Judges summing up.

Yes, usually I'd agree---but in this case it might be worse for the defense to have the last say. They have so little to say that it will seem anticlimactic to end with them. JMO

It's a sturdy bag that costs a lot more (we have to pay for bags in our shops) but can be used hundreds of times, and is usually replaced for free by the shop when it wears out, rather than a flimsy bag which quickly develops holes and has to be thrown away. It's to encourage people to take a bag with them when they go shopping, as our parents and grandparents did, and reduce our plastics usage.

Yes.

It is just that the very name
"for life"
used in the context of an alleged serial killer sounds really jarring.

But don't mind me

Because you can take them back and exchange them when they wear out. Not that anyone ever does!
