    That’s what I thought it’s so horrible its unbearable. When you look into the evidence against her (not just what was reported in the press) it’s overwhelming. Just reading the final few hours of the live feed on her cross examination tells you a lot

      :The nurses advocating for her sound like they’re doing it not just for Lucy but for themselves too, in the sense that they’re terrified that they’d be next under prosecution

      My understanding of the medical field is that responsibility propogates up, and many many people uo the chain of command would have to fail a patient, with the blame resting on the registrar, so it is either strange or really damning of her that they pinned this all on Lucy.

      I can’t make heads of it

        I totally understand the fear, shit rolls downhill and high ups pin it on the most vulnerable person. There’s a lot of bullying in the NHS so I’m sure people get mistreated.

        Scary thing is the managers were covering for Lucy and the inquiry has shown just how much. She was in supportive text contact with one of the highest management! This quick read gives an overview

          Oh no… okay, now I think she did do it.

          Consultant paediatrician Ravi Jayaram enters the intensive care unit in the early hours of 17 February and finds Letby standing next to the incubator of a premature baby who is struggling to breathe. Letby is doing nothing to help.

          I don’t know what to say. This really has shaken me. I almost feel for the manager who tried to reassure Lucy that she wasn’t at fault.
