Baby H is probably one of the most under appreciated negligence cases, probably because of the jury decisions of not guilty and no verdict, the case hasn't received as much scrutiny.
@MartynPitman IMO the cancelling of the second inquest reads like Cheshire Police were doing the Doctors bidding. Probably due to incompetence more than compliance as they assumed the Doctors narrative was the correct one.
Michele On Lucy letby & baby D. On two occasions coroner's inquests which may have exposed the medical negligence in the care for this baby were called off at the 11th hour. https://t.co/e2fjQ5MLAs
Whatever bombshell revelations have come so far from the Lucy Letby Thirlwall inquiry, I suspect they will pale into insignificance compared to if these messages are ever released. Which they never will be. So much for your "public inquiry", you are NOTHING to the machine.
@maggiem67582865@LucyLetbyTrials@William26139338 It does kind of ironically foreshadow an even greater miscarriage of justice, similar to this. "The secrecy of this situation has been in my opinion to protect you". A married man given lifetime anonymity to keep his affair quiet? https://t.co/3OKR8E8B0A
Lucy Letby to her accusers: "The secrecy of this situation has been, in my opinion, to protect you more than it was to benefit me - I have never had anything to hide.
"I therefore wish to be as open and honest as possible with my colleagues pending my return and I will be releasing a statement.
"I feel they have the right to know the truth behind my secondment and restricted contact, which is very out of character for me."
Letby never returned to work. Her accusers met with the police within days of her scheduled return.
I think many people disengage when it is suggested that what happened to Lucy Letby was, in fact, a witch hunt. They often find the term emotionally charged and fail to recognise that, historically, witch hunts were not merely the actions of angry mobs. In Britain, many were conducted through official judicial processes and carried out under the authority of the state. As a result, people frequently mistake collective persecution for a legitimate pursuit of accountability. Yet there is a fundamental difference between holding someone accountable for crimes they have demonstrably committed and subjecting them to a witch hunt.
Witch hunts have several defining characteristics that distinguish them from genuine accountability processes. One of the most important is the treatment of evidence. Accountability requires careful examination of clear, contemporaneous evidence. Witch hunts, by contrast, often rely on feelings, assumptions, suggestions, speculation, and retrospective reinterpretations of events designed to support a predetermined narrative. The distinction is clearly identifiable through historical analysis. Looking back at documented cases allows us to see the difference between evidence-led investigations and campaigns driven by social, institutional, or political pressures.
In the Letby case, as in many instances involving genuine whistleblowers (while recognising that not everyone who claims whistleblower status genuinely is one), the documented records, to which I have had access within my capacity as instructed expert by Letby’s new legal team, clearly shows that the Letby prosecution was a clear cut example of a witch hunt.
Witch hunts never disappeared - they have just been re-branded. They are rooted in patterns of human behaviour that are as old as biblical times. Religious texts, including accounts surrounding the trial and execution of Jesus, contain stories of examples of identical dynamics. Such phenomena have likely existed for as long as human societies have existed.
What has changed is their form. Modern witch hunts are rarely labelled as such. They are often rebranded as moral crusades, safeguarding exercises, or accountability campaigns. Yet the underlying dynamics remain the same. While they no longer typically end with public executions, they can and do result in the destruction of reputations, careers, livelihoods, and sometimes even personal liberty. In many cases, the process itself becomes the punishment, regardless of whether the accusations are ultimately proven.

Few would argue that the ever expanding litany of Maternity / Neonatal scandals in the UK (Morecombe Bay, S&T, East Kent, NUH) over the last decade represent anything other than a travesty and embarrassment to the NHS, Govt and country. The countless damaged and destroyed...

@PeterElston1@DebbieKennett It was for the benefit of their narrative post conviction to say they had concerns that early. I think there’s little in the way of evidence it started that early and thin evidence it was discussed in 2015 at all.
