Judge Goss is nearing the conclusion of his summing up now. He tells the jury they must 'reach a decision on all the evidence' and determine in relation to each alleged offence whether they can be 'sure of the defendants guilt or not'
Judge Goss says many of the children in this case suffered unexpected life threatening collapses, many of which medics says they had not witnessed the like of before. He says the Crown argue 'this is not a series of unconnected events'
He says the Crown argue that the collapses 'when put in context' with expert evidence, post mortem findings and all the other evidence (notes, handover sheets messages etc) the jury 'can be sure the defendant committed all the offences on which you are trying her'

Judge Goss says the defence Ms Letby denies harming any children. Her case is that was a hardworking, dedicated nurse. She never falsified notes and there was 'no sinister purpose' for her Facebook searches for parents of children in this case
The handover sheets, she says, where taken from the hospital in error and the notes - upon which she wrote 'I am evil' - were 'a product of despair'
Jury are currently out on a break, when they return there'll be a few administrative tasks and soon after they will retire to consider their verdicts
