A controlled demolition of the Letby case.
One of the reasons why the establishment is between a rock & a hard place. The cost has to be justified for going along with the framing of Lucy Letby & explain the ignorance of calling for a Public Inquiry.
In other words, the prosecution used Letby's consistent reasonableness and honesty as the key mechanism through which she became anchored in the jury's mind as the insulin perpetrator.
Thus we observe an honest answer in the hands of the prosecution become a psychological substitute for direct proof. For who else could it have been?
Despite, like every one of the 15 convictions, there being not a scrap of direct proof against Letby.
Despite no missing insulin.
Despite her not even being there in one case.
Despite no reported damage to any infusion bag overwraps.
Despite, as it turned out post-trial, the assay used being of a non-forensic quality.
Today we know Letby would find Prof J. Geoffrey Chase's "'Impossible' Insulin to C-Peptide Ratios are Common in Insulin-Free Pre-term NICU Infants" a more persuasive explanation for the high insulin readings in the neonates she was convicted of harming.
A pity the jury is no longer around to hear Letby agree to a more rationally persuasive alternative.
Forgive me if my tweets about Lucy Letby are incessant. I know what it is like to be bullied, although never to the extent she was. She’s seeing her life disappear into thin air through no fault of her own. She is innocent. She needs to be free very soon. #freelucyletby
"In a new ITV documentary about Letby's case, Prof Neena Modi, of Imperial College, said she had examined medical notes and concluded that critically ill babies had not been monitored or treated appropriately."

Cant help but wonder if Thirwall, being a canny lawyer, has now prepared two conclusion documents in the hope that they can wait out the CCRC report, so they can put out provisos should #lucyletby#letby's guilt brought in to question. https://t.co/Tky7nzru9H
"Although this has been very traumatic, my strong desire to remain in Chester and within CoCH remains, and I am hopeful that we can find a professional way forward to enable my return to where I feel I belong."
Read the letter Lucy Letby wrote to her accusers after a hospital grievance investigation found in her favour, and she was told she could come back to work: https://t.co/tMAeTOE160
Alas, Letby never came back to work.
A few weeks after she wrote this letter, and right before she was scheduled to return, one of her accusers, Dr Ravi Jayaram, told the hospital that he'd once walked in on her trying to murder a baby.
It only took Dr Jayaram a year and a month to tell the hospital about this – about walking in on an attempted murder on a baby.
It took Letby winning an HR complaint against him for Dr Jayaram to speak up.
Once he did, the hospital called in the police.
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.
"The fact that [Lucy Letby] has been subjected to the ordeal of the last four to five months based on a 'gut feeling' and the subsequent behaviour of [Dr Stephen Brearey] is not compatible with the trust values and behaviours," [the investigator] said."

'There has been no case in British legal history, or indeed as far as I am able to establish in the history of English speaking common law legal jurisdictions such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and USA where the identity of seven murder victims, and ten attempted murder victims have been censored, and further reporting restrictions have given life-long anonymity to nine of the adult prosecution witnesses' https://t.co/HYXKv75M0f
@MargotDA33@merchant47@ccrcupdate have no relevant expertise themselves. It will be hard/impossible to find anyone credible who agrees with the Crown’s accusations of in effect sorcery. There must also be an element of face saving. If referred quickly it shows up those in authority who swallowed it
"We didn't get our convictions overturned because of the government, or the courts. I'll tell you what got our convictions overturned: public outcry."
"One thing about the British public, when they see an injustice, they are not afraid to stand up and scream about it."
