In the case of solicitor Sally Clark who was falsely accused of murdering her baby, the jury were swayed by statistics presented by paediatrician Meadow and ‘Meadow’s Law’. He used statistics erroneously and moreover statistics was not his area of expertise. Sally Clark spent three years in prison before her conviction was overturned. Paediatricians Meadow and Southall were very well paid expert witnesses used by the crown prosecution in cases where babies had died and where it might be in the interests of the NHS to obscure the reasons why. In the case of Sally Clark, for instance, she had had two previous babies die, apparently for reasons unknown. When a third died Meadow popped up. Sally’s babies had been born early and received their vaccines with no account taken of this. The jury, however, were told that vaccines should be ruled out as having anything to do with the deaths. This is illogical. But nothing can be allowed to threaten sacred cows, can it? Whether they be wars (Ian Huntley miscarriage of justice) vaccine damage (Sally Clark and others) or child abuse by the state (eg - children in care homes).

Jury trial is the basis of common law, and indeed, common law would have little meaning without it. Jury trial is thousands of years old. This, of itself, doesn't necessarily mean it's correct, but it's a poweful arguement for it, because it simply works. I think that bench trial is inferior to jury trial. There is nothing which makes the operation of the law more democratic than the jury system, where you are judged by your peers. It isn't perfect, and juries have made mistakes, but it most usually works extremely well. Sometimes juries are misled, but the judge is there to stop this. Sometimes jurors flout the rules under which they are supposed to operate. Sometimes lawyers are incompetent, but that's not the fault of the jury. In the case of Lucy Letby, two juries in two separate cases found her guilty, quickly and unanimously. You would too, had you been on the jury. The judge in the fiirst, main trial, thanked the jury, and he was right to.

I have had a terrible thought with this case, one that I cannot shake, that a nurse under the psychological duress of losing babies under her care might come to believe that she is cursed, that somehow, in her failure to save them, had come to believe she caused them. This is partly based in psychology, but also my inability to comprehend how someone who has spent their life caring for newborns could do the opposite
@louisehogg847226 күн бұрын
Exactly. Well known psychological phenomenon that depressed people have more accurate risk perception. Well people underestimate and miss warning signs. So she hangs around the babies she's noticed don't seem quite right, trying to help them. And then, they all seem to die on her! Who's everyone going to blame? Her. Who's SHE going to blame? Herself! Could be that she was the best nurse on the premises! For all we know. While everyone else wandered past in hurrying, blinkered, tunnel vision, missing the distress signals of the dying.

I have listened to the trial podcasts twice & I found the evidence damning - this trial was nothing like the Andrew Malkinson trial.

Well stated! I've just listened to a discussion about the points of the trial that many of us probably know only too well, and I am more convinced than ever that Letby is guilty. The juries in two separate trials were unanimous, and it took them a short while to reach their verdicts. Her appeal to the Court of Appeal was not allowed. It should be emphasised that, in this video, Peter Hitchens does not cast doubt on the conviction, merely on one aspect of the evidence. He says that he is not making any claim as to Letby's guilt or otherwise.

In Myers’s cross-examinations, he noted that witnesses’ memories of the rashes had changed, becoming more specific and florid in the years since the deaths. But this debate seemed to distract from a more relevant objection: the concern with skin discoloration arose from the 1989 paper. An author of the paper, Shoo Lee, one of the most prominent neonatologists in Canada, has since reviewed summaries of each pattern of skin discoloration in the Letby case and said that none of the rashes were characteristic of air embolism. He also said that air embolism should never be a diagnosis that a doctor lands on just because other causes of sudden collapse have been ruled out: “That would be very wrong-that’s a fundamental mistake of medicine.”

I spent 6 months in ICU with my daughter (23 weeks) and many times caught the nurses almost double dosing her meds. Apparently that would have killed her. I thought If every nurse had dosed immediately on shift change (without me there to say to check with the previous nurse, who hadn't updated the notes) she would have been dead many times over. ...

Hitchens is totally correct. This conviction and in fact the way the trial was run brings shame on the medical and legal professions, the police, and the judicial system. If this had been investigated properly from the start, without the false statistics and with a review of the unit and the medical notes by a panel of properly qualified Neonatologists this misscarriage of justice would never have occured. The truth is that there were NO MURDERS but these poor babies died in a totally dysfunctional, under-resourced, badly led and managed unit which was bound to fail its sick patients. These babies should never have been in that unit as it was so clearly unsafe and THAT was the problem. Lucy Letby was a convenient scapegoat for a lot of powerful professional people to save themselves from disgrace. I suspect their moment is coming.....

So if the babies died as a result of a "dysfunctional, under-resourced, badly led and managed unit" why were the deaths reported to the police as suspicious and why did the police agree and bring charges? Why did the state decide to prosecute and why did the jury come to a guilty verdict? In your version, it would seem the whole legal system is a "dysfunctional, under-resourced, badly led and managed unit"

To answer your first question please read the last 4 lines of my post again and again until you understand it. And yes the legal system is totally dysfunctional especially with regard to how technical and scientific evidence is used and assessed in the courts where judges, barristers and especially jury have no clue as to what the evidence means but the jurors are swayed by the play-acting skills of sharp barristers who are there for the money. Any more questions??

The Letby case was based upon wholly circumstantial evidence, not to par, and was a very emotive narrative - which is to be expected when it’s babies involved, and a nurse. It’s a dangerous precedent to set and the KC’s words are actually quite damning. For the people saying ‘she did this, and that; wrote this and that’.. that’s not beyond reasonable doubt evidence. I hope that one day, the people not hellbent on keeping the judicial system stringent and proper, never have to rely on is being so if they are behind the dock, wrongly accused.

Couldn’t have said it better. Circumstantial evidence was overwhelming and the notes she wrote admitting she killed them, puts her beyond reasonable doubt. She is guilty beyond reasonable doubt. You can never be 100% sure, even if you caught someone with a bloodied knife in their hands standing over a dead body there are scenarios where the person could be innocent.

As a former Dutch DA, penal judge and barrister with thirty years experience in courts of law I'm deeply shocked by the medieval level of the law in England. Even though the Dutch legal system like most legal systems in the world is seriously flawed at least the law that derives from the French Code Penal and procedures is in order. It seems to me to be so bad that if possible England should be expelled from the European Convention of Human Rights. It's a bloody legal witch hunt trial. If I understand it correctly the judge, prosecution, and defence decide pre trial what evidence is admissible. They must thus be telepathic. Thus the jury isn't shown the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth when as in this case during the trial expert opinions in their respective fields of expertise are brought to the attention of all parties except Lucy Letby and the jury! The so called free independent press accepts a gag order during what was it 7 or more months of a trial that with any competent judge would have been thrown out of court for lack of evidence. It shouldn't even have come to trial. For me the first time a saw some evidence of the case the what was it writing by Lucy Letby in which she stated to be a bad person is convincing evidence of someone who is innocent even though for people who don't have much experience how certain personality types react to the pressures and feelings of guilt having failed to save the babies in such a way being openly scape goated by writing it down is coping behavior I've witnessed several times in different cases. The jury should have been presented with the expert opinions based on broadly held consensus in the respective fields of expertise including the methods of research. On several key points this hasn't been the case. Leading also to a trial by media. Boy oh boy.

@ykrgfk26 күн бұрын
Yes conspiracies do exist - and they can be investigated and either proved or disproved. The problem with conspiracy 'theories' is that they are held and propagated by people who simply think it makes them interesting - they aren't concerned with truth and no amount of evidence can persuade them when they are wrong - 'truth' is whatever they say it is and 'evidence' is always 'rigged' - when they acknowledge the existence of the word 'evidence' at all. The word 'theory' flatters them - they aren't theorists, they are just attention-seeking fantasists and liars. Peter Hitchens is a good example.
