@maggiem67582865 Maybe RV locked air can ‘disappear’ into the arterial system. Who knows? It’s not always found at autopsy even in definitive VAE/AAE cases. Regarding specifically the Chester babies, no comment. That is entirely for the Court.

Walls of... Lucy Letby is Innocent #LucyLetby


@cjsnowdon He knows there is no evidence that the babies were murdered or harmed deliberately. No murders mean no murderer. I don't think it's unreasonable to be disturbed that someone is wrongly imprisoned for life. thejusticegap.com/in-summary-lad…








@ClarkeMicah PH has his own definition of “objective evidence”. It’s not the definition used by the police, lawyers or the courts, but a journalist. A journalist.






This was a note shown to the court that was written by Letby. Bearing in mind these notes were written before her arrest, long before she could possibly have known what she would eventually be charged with, the words "foreign objects" is particularly striking. Only she knew that she had attacked Babies E and N with a foreign object to the throat at that time. #lucyletby @legalmarkmc @AnEmergentI @drphilhammond @johnsweeneyroar @DavidDavisMP @NadineDorries @jontay44 @evenhanded909 @danwootton @thecarolemalone @LeeShoo @NeenaModi1 @thejeremyvine @Mephitisblog @adamhpking @DavidRoseUK @rosiew5







@cjsnowdon What I find hardest to fathom abt @cjsnowdon and the other #lucyletby haters is why, given they know jurors have 100s of times wrongly convicted, and in LL case there are so many credible experts who hv come forward, they wd not wnt case ref'd if it was a close relative of theirs




There are a number of problems with this conglomeration of hypotheses. Firstly, the only person who says Baby O was ventilated is Letby and she says he was put on ventilation at 5pm on 23/6, ie. less than an hour before he died. It cannot have been the cause of the collapse at 2.40pm. He had been on CPAP but only for the first ≈20 hours of life. Thereafter, his breathing was fine until Letby came back from her holiday. The haematoma was found post-mortem. The defence agreed that it was not there before Letby started her 23/6 shift. His haemoglobin levels did not fall until his last hours of life (if anything, they were rising) and they were in the healthy range until shortly before his death. If there had been a liver injury at birth - especially one as severe as that found port-mortem - they would have declined sooner. "She could find no evidence of deliberate harm to the liver". Except the three severe liver injuries that Dr Marnerides likened to the victim of a car crash! What caused these? It wasn't a cannula (they were on the wrong side) and it didn't happen during childbirth. The cannula/syringe theory was dismissed in court with good reason (Marnerides said it was most likely to have happened post-mortem), but even if such an injury had occurred, the cannula was inserted as a last ditch attempt to save a baby who had repeatedly collapsed. What caused the collapses?



What I find extraordinary given the technical complexity of neonatal care cases, is that Letby’s jury heard from no expert with recent neonatal intensive care experience. Nor were there experts in obstetrics, insulin metabolism, or statistics to scrutinise the prosecution's spreadsheet of Letby’s work shifts. The defence, notably, called no experts during the trial - though they did call a plumber.
