Forensic Psychiatrist Says Lucy Letby Didn’t “Intentionally” Leave Notes As Evidence

The trial of Lucy Letby was told police recovered a number of handwritten notes from Lucy Letby’s home after her arrest in July 2018.
On one note shown to the jury, headlined ‘Not good enough’ she wrote: “I will never have children or marry. I will never know what it’s like to have a family” and “I can’t breathe.”
TalkTV’s Dr David Bull and Nicola Thorp are joined by forensic Psychiatrist Dr Sohom Das who gives his verdict after a detective allegedly suggested Letby left notes in her home ‘deliberately to be found by police’.
Dr Soham says he strongly believes that “this was something she intentionally left to be found”.

And to think those suspicious Doctors were forced to make an apology to that baby murderer is beyond perverted!!! Hospital management should also be held accountable for their crimes!!!

[@paulroberts7544]

There is no proof that any baby was murdered. FACT There is no proof that Letby did anything wrong. FACT The doctors (now consultants) that reported Letby to management were, at the time, junior doctors in their first year. They were inexperienced and, understandably, panicked when faced with an unexpected increase in deaths. Managment are right not to allow inexperienced, junior doctors to blame nurses when things go wrong. Have you heard the term 'killing season'? It's the measurable increase in deaths that occur when the latest crop of new junior doctors are let loose in the wards. If Letby is later proven to be innocent (I think an appeal is likely), should the doctors that pointed the finger at her be held accountable for what has happened to an innocent nurse? What about the police? The Jury? The media? The members of the public that joined the pile on?

[@normankennith7919]

jayaram & brearey should have gone to the police as soon as they felt something was wrong!!!!! maybe they both were involved in the babies deaths in some way!!

[@manichairdo9265]

​@@solomansoundsThe murderer's rancid father had contacted the head of management accusing the drs of bullying her and demanded a written apology to his spawn or he was going to report the drs to the highest medical authority. By writing the apology they kept their jobs and were able to be independent credible witnesses. The management ignored their concerns which allowed the murderer to continue. The drs also were able to prove what she had done to the babies and she is now where she belongs. Watch the detectives account of their investigation.

What we need to seriously look at is why she was allowed to go on such rampage against innocent and extremely vulnerable lives. Where was the monitoring, the double checks, record keeping and the due diligence to question why babies were dying without a serious cause, one minute they’re on mend making progress and next there dead. This was allowed to happen by those in charge whether intentionally or unintentionally which is an abhorrent negligence

[@normankennith7919]

lucy knew she would get a life sentence, so why should she give a flying fuck about what people thought of her? she was already hated by many with a 'lynch mob' mentality & ghoul like curiosity!! another reason she did not attend the court was that rather than her harming the families with physical or verbal abuse, it was more likely that a member or members of the families might try to kill her in court!! andrew malkinson was wrongly gaoled for 17 years! i wonder what his view would have been on lucy's sentence? bearing in mind she was convicted on circumstantial evidence & no witnesses to the so called crimes!!! i believe she is a scapegoat & there is a cover up, which could involve doctors, jayaram & brearey - the latter thought to be lucy's 'boyfriend' from 2015 to 2016!, when she was alleged to have committed the 'crimes'!! ps, how many baby deaths have there been since, in the hospital where she worked & did the police investigate those deaths?!!

​@@normankennith7919 Rather melodramatic, 'kill her in court'. There would be tight security in such a high profile case. Regarding the point of how many baby deaths due to insulin poisoning (when the baby was not diabetic), air embolism (air injected into blood stream - non accident), fatal injury to liver unexplained, forced-overfeeding etc, within this small unit, no similar murders have occurred since Letby's imprisonment, according to NHS records and the trial. Unless they are deliberately hiding the exact type of murders in that same small unit of the hospital, after the police became involved in the following years. Quite difficult, I should imagine. Unless you have other evidence?

[@paulroberts7544]

Ocams razor - the most likely explanation is usually the truth. The most likely explanation is that she didn't do it. When it takes years for a team of 70 investigators to come up with nothing but circumstantial evidence, and when the nation can't get their head around how to see this woman as a baby murderer - the likely explanation is....she's not. From evidence I've been reading (circumstantial) the most likely explanation seems to be the babies weren't murdered. There's another case in another hospital where a similar thing happened. The babies were thought to have been murdered by a nurse and that's where police did all their investigation. But it was later proven to be a pathogen that had leaked from the sewage system. All the symptoms (including unexpected, sudden collapse) match with this pathogen. And guess what - a plumber testified that there were almost weekly visits to the hospital to deal with a leaking sewage system that was dripping leaked sewage water directly into where the babies cots were.

She's "just an evil person" So that means there's no motivation then. And there's no prior history of being evil. Or doing anything evil. Or criminal record. There's also no prior parental or background trauma, no psychological red flags there. Nothing said against her having any of these evil traits by her close school friends. No drifting or lack of focus; instead she's spent her entire life dedicated to her career of nursing. She just suddenly wakes up one morning and decides to start killing babies. So she can destroy her career and spend the rest of her life in jail. Because she's 'just evil'. Yeah. I really buy this explanation. This case stinks to high heaven.

Dr. Das is UK's leading Forensic Psychiatrist, I am sure he knows what he is talking about. 2nd, since the Psychitrist actually assessing the case of Lucy Letby would not be allowed to speak to the media, the 2nd best thing a news station can do is get another Forensic Psychiatrist to share his opinion on publicly available data.

[@captaininspector8898]

How about an investigation into every single baby death for the last ten years, in every hospital, to determine how many were given too much food, insulin or breathing tubes were not fitted correctly - and how much negligence and pressure there is really in overstretched hospitals ?

If they did ask that, what was their thoughts?

@@user-od2st7uu7r It is a disturbing story. There is a lack of screening on entering NHS or careworker jobs already. In this one it seemed the police built up a case based also around Letby's character and responses to arrest - partly it seems, as they expect protest from an innocent person, though is this a presumption ? I am sure, surely, they left 'no stone unturned' and they went through scenarios like, 'maybe others made negligent errors they might even be unaware of' ? If so, none of that is public knowledge. So, perhaps some of the years in some neonatal units where the average is say 2 per year then goes to 3/4 are down to negligence or mistakes due to work errors and pressure? Just a thought. The fact that raw sewage came up on a regular basis into the sinks on the neonatal unit, at least tells a tale of failed management of some kind.

It's likely (I'd have thought) that one reason for that is the number of deaths caused by accident/mistake. I think it's one of the biggest causes of death? I think the reality of medicine is that in order to save people you have to accept that human error will lead to many other deaths. I remember a nurse friend talking about 'the killing season' - this was definitely a thing back in the 80's that was commonly referred to by health pros. It was the week when the new crop of newly qualified doctors were released onto the wards. Accidental deaths rose drastically. It officiallhy goes up by 8%. Interestingly, the consulutant doctors that 'blew the whistle' on Letby were at the time newly qualified, student doctors. Also, the consultant in charge of the ward was in the run up to retirement and the inexperienced doctors were often in the wards alone at the time of the deaths. I don't think police investigated the possibility that inexperienced doctors werre to blame for the increase in deaths. Google for this if you doubt me. It's well documented.

Lucy was "targeted" by more Senior staff.......she reported other Staff and this took a lot of courage on her part....as to showing no remorse - mentioned by the Judge and others - i would not either, if i had been wrongly accused. Not everyone displays their "heart on their sleeve" (call it empathy). It is a highly subjective thing. Some of the "evidence" should have been thrown out of Court eg. the "secret code" - LD mistaken for LO (supposed to have been significant as a virtual "confession") - total nonsense as it was not even true. Much was made of this, as was Lucy leaning over a Baby's Cot, the Parent holding the baby up, and Lucy supporting herself with her right hand. Yet, this was interpreted as "malicious" on the part of Lucy. Studying the very sad case of Baby G , it transpires that she became partially sighted, and Quadriplegic, as a result of SEPSIS - - nothing to do with Lucy, she was observed to be Diligently writing up her Nursing Notes, well after her shift had ended, and she should have gone home to sleep. Her involvement with Baby G was as a result of being called over from another part of the Unit, to assist an "unnamed nurse".....and WHY unnamed ? What was there to hide so that you would not want to be named ? Other Staff were named..... Now, for me the clincher was "nobody could have saved Baby G".......note the "nobody" - speaks volumes. Lucy did her work well, and, because she was not shy about reporting other (often Senior) Colleagues, she was targeted, and vilified, destroying her credibility as a caring Nurse. Because she was outspoken over work issues, it is highly probable that this went very much against her, and set others in opposition to her. Finally, why was Lucy not REMOVED totally from the Countess of Chichester Hospital, instead of merely moved SIDEWAYS in to another role - IF she was guilty - and Risk Assessment ? Come on, this was a strange role for someone apparently under surveillance herself - makes no sense...EXCEPT for the fact that the more Senior Staff were unsure of their ground concerning suspicions over Lucy, so they could not justify suspending her, or sacking her even. In my considered view, Lucy is not guilty of the charges levied against her...and i sincerely hope that she wins her right to Appeal and will, in the fulness of time, be completely exonerated and have all charges against her dropped. Thank you for reading this - i hope more people will come to see the travesty that was Lucy's trial for what it was, and that she will be viewed in a more fair and balanced way.
