KEY POINTS
-
33-year-old Lucy Letby was convicted on Friday of killing seven babies in the neonatal unit of a hospital in England.
-
A handwritten note found by police officers who searched her home after the arrest read “I killed them on purpose”.
-
Letby will be sentenced on Monday and faces a very long prison term, and possibly a rare full life sentence.
As she did not confess in court, I’m keeping the option open that she could be innocent. We’ve had those cases before.
Very unlikely here.
The death rate shot up at the hospital where she worked, and in every single suspicious case of death or near death of a baby, she was present. All 25 of them. I think the next closest was a nurse who was present for 7 of them.
When she stopped working there the suspicious deaths stopped. Deaths on that baby ward pretty much stopped completely actually. I think they had like one on that unit in the years following, compared to 3-4 month when Letby was there.
I’m not saying it’s impossible she’s innocent, in the same way it’s not impossible for my ugly ass to get a date with Michelle Ryan. But it’s really, really unlikely.
Missing the most fucked up part. She was having an affair with the doctor who would be called in during such events. She was obsessed with him and this was how she was ensuring he’d come to the rescue.

There was this case of Lucia de Berk who was convicted on statistics like these, although she was innocent.

Perhaps your chances with Michelle are better than you thought!
Parents literally walked in on her mid-murder, but yeah maybe she was just pretending to kill it? For a joke?
I can’t even imagine what I would do to a nurse that was hurting my baby… I just had a baby and I was ready to knock out the lactation consultant for pushing my baby’s head into my wife’s boob a little hard.
Had those cases before? Care to elaborate or specify on that I would be greatly interested.
Here’s one I remember from my childhood…

Edit: For clarity I’m not suggesting anything like that happened in this case. It just fit the bill for what I thought you were looking for
I’m not buying what you’re selling. She did it clear as day. I don’t know the mental gymnastics you need to go through to convince yourself that she didn’t do it, because it’s truly mind boggling. Who are you trying to blame if it’s not her, NHS, police, the hospital, or the doctors? No, I’m sorry, I just can’t buy what you’re selling. I did read the article, I’ll admit police abuses do occur, I will add I’m American, and our police are much worse then your police forces when it comes to this. The truth, they handled her with kid glove in this case, but she buried herself with a mountain of evidence. I feel the article you linked was more linked to British peoples hate for the Irish. Do miscarriages of justice happen? They can. Do i think that was the case here? No.
I think you fully misunderstood me. I’m not selling anything except that serious miscarriages of justice have happened in the past (edit: specifically in the UK). I genuinely thought that’s all you were asking.
I’m not familiar with this case at all and if she’s guilty I hope she fucking rots.
I understand now, fair. All good.
There was this case of Lucia de Berk who was locked up innocently.

I’m not saying that it’s the same scenario here, but I would remain careful in passing judgement.
