Truth, reality and common sense seem to have taken indefinite leave in the 2020s. Let’s try and invite them back!

I’m presenting ‘Lucy Letby and the Revival of the Witch Hunt’ at the University of Sunderland on Thursday 13 Feb. The paper explains how the same pattern of circumstantial evidence used to convict witches was used against Ms Letby.

@ContrarianJolly Well Dr Gibbs is retraining as a priest, so if he wants to get to heaven, he’ll need to go via the confessional box and confess to his part in fitting up an innocent nurse. He would be respected for that.

[Nicky @redrosesgrow]

@ContrarianJolly Jonathan Coffey looks more and more pained as he tries, very uncomfortably, to hold open the space for, “she could still be guilty”. He knows, the house of cards has collapsed, but he backed the wrong horse from the get go.

[Nicky @redrosesgrow]

@mellycatslave @rob_goudie @EruthmaEruthmas @SusieQ7038 @DebbieKennett @ContrarianJolly @VeraBaird Yes, the stance should be innocent until proven guilty, but it never was in this case. The burden was placed on LL to explain what had happened to these babies- she couldn’t obviously 🙄 and Cheshire police inferred she was guilty from that- madness!

[Robert Goudie @rob_goudie]

A line of questioning detached from medical reality.

Even consultant neonatologists, radiologists, microbiologists and pathologists cannot always determine the precise cause of a neonatal death. Depending on the study, complete agreement between the clinical diagnosis and subsequent autopsy findings has ranged from roughly 52% to 75%.

A broad cause may be assigned - extreme prematurity, respiratory failure, infection or congenital abnormality - while the precise causal chain remains uncertain, multifactorial or later proves incomplete.

The claim that "she couldn’t tell us how these babies had died" turns normal, everyday diagnostic uncertainty - here, imposed on a nurse - into implied guilty knowledge.

Letby's inability to explain what the responsible clinicians and pathologists could not establish with certainty was never meaningful evidence against her.

Just another snapshot from the mountain of medical fallacies that make up this case.

@TopQuokka @Sunnanbyrg @EruthmaEruthmas @SusieQ7038 @DebbieKennett @ContrarianJolly @VeraBaird Exactly

[Nicky @redrosesgrow]

The mind literally boggles at who Cheshire police thought they had sitting in front of them when they were questioning LL; an absolute criminal mastermind?? Afterall they bought into Dewi Evans highly inventive murder methods; air embolism, air down the nasogastric tube, over feeding, poisoning, a punch to the liver. Did they not once stop to scratch their heads and wonder how she would know how to do all this? Was it not odd to them when they trawled through her devices and her internet history, that they found no evidence whatsoever of LL researching such methods?

[Nicky @redrosesgrow]

That was the most kafkaesque line of questioning by Danielle Stonier; “we gave Lucy every opportunity to tell us how these babies had died and she couldn’t do that”. So, to follow that logic, LL, as a band 5 nurse, with 3 years post qualifying experience, was supposed to know what had been completely stumping the consultants and the hospital as deaths and collapses on the indictment were “unexplained” and because she in no way was qualified to answer that, they took that as suspicious and confirmation of guilt. Absolutely ludicrous.

[Nicky @redrosesgrow]

Yes, it’s glaringly apparent, from this line of questioning, that Stonier was woefully ignorant of the complexities of neonatal medicine or the differences in the professional roles of the staff in the unit. If she had been more clued on (or at least been more aware of her own knowledge gaps), she may have felt less certain of her biases, and more able to be use critical thinking and be open to other possibilities, rather than a serial killer nurse.

If Cheshire police overall, had been able to respect their own understandable lack of knowledge of complex medical cases, they would have appointed an expert MD panel, as they were advised to do at the start, rather than be persuaded by Dewi Evans,whose far- fetched medical opinions would have unlikely been taken seriously by any other independent, medical expert. If they had, I don’t think this case would have got to court.

[Nicky @redrosesgrow]

Yes, if we are to believe the prosecution, Lucy Letby functioned as a callous, cold blooded killer, with nerves of steel allowing her to murder in plain sight of her nursing colleagues working close by.

She chose methods that mirrored perfectly the babies pre existing co-morbidities that meant she could continue undetected for so long.

Despite being a band 5 nurse with three years post qualifying experience she had expert, in depth knowledge of air embolism and insulin poisoning so she could, in the words of Pascale Jones, senior crown prosecutor, “weaponise her craft”. All without doing any research and internet searches on these various different methods.

Then, she morphed into a very distressed and frightened young woman who’d been isolated from colleagues when she was removed from clinical duties and wrote her deepest, most anguished and traumatised thoughts, which included her capacity to bear guilt and concern about her practice, on post it notes which she was naive enough not to hide, despite knowing the police were involved and had suspicions about her. It’s almost like she’s two completely different people. Or maybe she didn’t murder any baby and this is the most horrific MoJ of an innocent woman.

Then she morphed into

@Mia87562570 @hairyairey @TrudyToogood @ClareCraigPath I think that everyone, from professionals in their particular field, medicine, statistics, police, psychology (mine) to other ordinary, fair minded people had the same visceral, gut reaction- something is seriously off here.

[Nicky @redrosesgrow]

This case exposes fault lines within our institutions across the whole establishment and is probably why this is giving the CCRC its biggest judicial headache. How can justice prevail when to do so potentially exposes establishment failures of such magnitude. But they can’t keep kicking the can down the road either as the eyes of public scrutiny are firmly on them and will not look away. If they could find one extremely narrow piece of technically new evidence that could exonerate Lucy and avoid further scrutiny of the whole system they would do it.

@mellycatslave @braves2430 It’s a tough one! Chocolate or cheese, chocolate or cheese 🤔…. Maybe coffee? Definitely not wine 🍷

[Nicky @redrosesgrow]

Broadmoor is not Butlins! It’s a maximum security psychiatric hospital housing the most disturbed and dangerous individuals. He will not be having a picnic. He’ll be given a thorough psychiatric evaluation and if necessary, he’ll be treated. The unforgivable evil of his crimes will not be excused or forgotten about, but he will be treated humanely as he should be in a mainstream prison.

[Nicky @redrosesgrow]

Yes, information (the facts) not required if it doesn’t fit the narrative that LL is guilty. All those who contest this are liars and grifters involved in a PR stunt. Oops we are vilifying the wrong M McDonald? Ahh no matter, nothing to see there, he’s still a fake barrister let’s just pick up where we left off with the insults and have a collective group hug in our united position of hatred and condemnation.

[Miscarriages Of Justice @UKinjustice2025]

#FreeLucyLetby #UKJusticeHypocrisy
3/3 This is how the UK Government interfered in the independent Bulgarian Justice system

Michael Shields, a British football fan convicted in Bulgaria in 2005 for attempted murder based on shaky eyewitness identification, served the first part of his sentence in Bulgaria. He was repatriated to the UK in 2006 under a prisoner transfer agreement to continue imprisonment in a British jail.

After a 2008 confession from another individual emerged as new evidence, Bulgarian courts refused to reopen the case or grant clemency despite UK requests. So, in 2009, UK Justice Secretary Jack Straw intervened, using the Royal Prerogative of Mercy to grant Shields a full pardon, stating he was

"morally and technically innocent"

which led to his immediate release and effectively overrode the foreign conviction against Bulgaria's wishes, sparking anger there.

MP's in Parliament repeatedly labeled it a "miscarriage of justice," and Fair Trials International called it "blatant".

The hypocrisy is glaring. They interfere abroad but hide behind "independence" at home for Lucy Letby. It's wrong on every level.

#LucyLetby is "morally and technically innocent" so do the right thing. Free her immediately.
