Absolutel Coward
She was definitely there for the previous ones. I can see why she didn't bother for the rest as she was screwed anyway.

Question now for those who have followed the evidence closely, do you agree with the verdict?
Yes here.

I made no secret of the fact that I was totally the opposite at the beginning but, yeah, I agree with them.

One of her own colleagues thinks she might have harmed her baby who was born premature. The police will be investigating other potential victims.

It’ll all be coming out now.

Relieved that justice has been done!

I bet the long deliberation was over the attempted murder charges. There perhaps wasn't enough evidence to be sure of her guilt on those.

Finally I can say what I’ve wanted to say for so long: Lucy Letby is GUILTY. It has been my opinion throughout having followed the trial and all of the evidence. I, like my sister, was born at Countess of Chester, the local family hospital (then called West Cheshire!), and my mother was treated there towards the end of her life. Letby has caused untold harm in the local area. I hope for a whole life sentence. I am sure she will appeal. I am sure she did it.

One member of the jury also cried and held her head in her hands.

Okay, this is what finally sent me over the edge and into tears. What a terrible burden it must have been for them all, to ensure justice for all the victims and their families.

So - sentence will be a Whole Life Order. Absolutely no doubt in my mind.

Question now for those who have followed the evidence closely, do you agree with the verdict?
Yes. 100%

And I am convinced she's guilty of more as well.

I've followed this case every single day throughout the whole trial, haven't posted on here but have followed the threads religiously. Right verdict, well done jury. Actual tears at this long awaited verdict. A colleague just said on sky news - "when an alarm would go off during the night, we'd use the phrase I wonder if Lucy is working tonight?" Terrifying.

Finally! So glad she has been found guilty. Hope she is handed a loooooong sentence
 
  • #373
Yes I support the verdict. It will be interesting which babies were hung/not guilty for if they match the ones stated here for being not 100%

Jury discharged just after 1pm, so they’ll only be getting sixty quid for today.

What the heck, I read my book for half an hour and all hell beaks loose.

Is there a list somewhere of WHICH charges are guilty/not guilty/hung? I really want to know which were ruled which ways.

MOO

Yes, for me. I went into it with an open mind given the nature of the trial but I think they have got it right.

It can now be revealed that some verdicts were delivered on Tuesday, August 8, Friday, August 11, Wednesday, August 16 and Thursday, August 17, but reporting restrictions were imposed to prevent publication of those until the jury had finished all their deliberations.

On August 8, just after 2pm, Letby was unanimously found by the jury to have poisoned Child F and Child L with insulin. Letby - as had been the case for much of the trial - remained emotionless as those verdicts were delivered, and began crying after the jury left to continue deliberating.

On August 11, just after 1pm, Letby remained emotionless as the jury unanimously found her guilty of murdering Child O, and by a 10 to one majority, of murdering Child C, Child I and Child P. The jury also found her guilty by a 10 to one majority of attempting to murder Child M and Child N.

Parents of the children wiped away tears as those verdicts were read out. After the jury and Letby left court, Letby's mother Susan Letby could be heard sobbing uncontrollably.

On August 16, just after 2pm, Letby did not attend the courtroom as further verdicts were read out. She was found guilty, by a majority of 10-1, of murdering Child A, Child D and Child E, and of attempting to murder Child B. She was also found guilty on two counts of attempting to murder Child G. Letby was found not guilty on a third count of attempting to murder Child G.

Parents in the public gallery wept, sobbed and consoled each other as those verdicts were read out.

On August 17, just after 12.45pm, Letby again did not attend as the jury found her not guilty on one count of attempting to murder Child H.

Reporting restrictions preventing the naming of any of the babies in the indictment remain in place.

The 33-year-old, first arrested in Chester in July 2018 and originally from Hereford, will be sentenced on Monday, August 21.

Letby made her last appearance in Manchester Crown Court on the morning of Wednesday, August 16, when the jury began its 20th day of deliberations.

Trial judge Mr Justice James Goss informed the court, the following day, that he had received a note to say Letby would not be returning to court, and was not intending to attend the sentencing hearing, and was "not prepared" to appear via videolink.

The judge said he was aware there had been recent sentencings where the defendant had refused to appear, and said the court "has no power" to force her to attend.

He added that for the sentencing hearing, for which his remarks will be televised, his comments would address Letby as if she was present.

On Friday, August 18, the jury announced it could go no further with its deliberations, and the 11 jurors were discharged. No verdicts were entered on six counts of attempted murder.

Thank you Alyce!

I agree with the guilty verdicts. I wish it had been a clean sweep. That’s what I believe it should’ve been personally.

I'm still waiting to hear what else is going to come out.

I have a feeling that there is still something absolutely massive to come out about her - something previous in her life.
