VERDICT WATCH UK - Nurse Lucy Letby, Faces 22 Charges - 7 Murder/15 Attempted Murder of Babies #28

[Dotta]

My mother did this a lot, but she was completely bonkers (a specialist medical term).

You know

When I asked my aunt why she was talking to herself, she answered:

"It is so good to listen to an educated person!"

It’s funny you say that Parker. Now let me make it clear that I have no way of verifying this but I had heard someone met her mum back in 2018 or 2019 and by all accounts her mum basically started talking about Lucy and “I’m the mum of the nurse etc” and basically starting reeling off details about the case. The person said it was incredibly awkward and she didn’t know why she was bringing it all up or discussing it as she didn’t have a clue who she was at the time.

I never asked my mother, not worth the risk!

I feel very sorry for LL's parents, it must be an incredibly stressful experience for them coming into court every day, so I wouldn't read too much into their reactions. In any case I think they should be spared such scrutiny, but this is just my opinion.

While we await Letbys fate and have not much to chat about I will tell you the time I went to court during Letbys Cross Examination !
Now I didn’t share this on the main thread as I was very concerned at the time but so many people on many platforms have shared their experience I thought it would be mildly interesting to anyone on here.
I went for the cross examination of dear Baby I and it was very last minute but I just HAD to see how she presented in court as that makes such a difference.
I totally agree with @CS2C in her demeanour, it’s actually quite staggering how almost “ disinterested “ she was under cross examination. The desk was covered with files and the two guards who sit either side of her helped her with getting the right ones out and the correct pages and she did sigh quite a lot when asked to refer to a certain page.
She is very similar to the court sketches, gone is the blonde hair, it’s a light ish brown and quite long and lank. Her face is slightly fuller obviously as she’s around 8 years older than the baby grow photo and her mouth is downturned.
She looks resigned but very tired.
She speaks eloquently with no hint of an accent that I could hear.
NJ KC was very measured with her, absolutely no raised voices and incredibly patient.
It was the day she stumbled over seeing Baby I in her cot in the dark and it was masterful to hear him draw her in without her twigging exactly where it was leading, I would liken it to a cat cornering a rat. She was resistant to follow when he was suggesting it would be almost impossible to see the baby in the cot from afar after she had arrived at N1 along the corridor which was brightly lit 24/7 into a darkened room. She walked right into the trap of one’s eyes adjusting to the light, she claimed she didn’t know how it would affect her eyesight to which NJ KC claimed “ Come on Lucy Letby …. You are a nurse “ and that when she came out with the line “ I could see what I was looking at ….. for “
She realised immediately and of course so did everyone else, she then followed up with her confusion over “ dates “ but we were not referring to dates.
Judge Goss halted proceedings early and court was cleared. I saw her parents outside court, mother VERY defensive and if you glance in her direction she will throw you back the mother of all dirty looks and was muttering loudly to herself which is rather odd as everyone looked. Her father just sits staring at the floor. Janet Cox who accompanies the parents was crying on and off. I’m glad I went but I had no desire to go back. I have never seen a defendant in the dock ( and I have seen many over the years ) present like Letby. She’s a mass of contradictions.
JMO.

Interesting observations, thank you for sharing.

"I had more experience so I knew what I was looking for - at."
You are quite correct Mary - it was the other way around.
Christ on a bike …. I would make the most abysmal court reporter !

Easily done. I just felt it was a tad significant. Heh heh.

No - I’m a stickler for correctness !

It indicates one thing.

Parents live for their children.
Children are their happiness and responsibility.

But they need "Nerves of Steel".

Oh, we also say here:

"Little kids, little trouble
Big kids, big trouble".

That’s an odd story @CS2C
It will all come tumbling out soon enough.

I’m sure a psychiatrist could have a field day with this information ….

 

[cuecard]

I honestly think we're gonna be here weeks

I kind of agree. Not saying it will happen but I wouldn't be overly surprised if this takes a couple of weeks.
