I’m not suggesting “Woodwood” and Bernstein need to investigate a conspiracy here, but this case has shone a light on just how restrictive UK law can be on some court proceedings. Think it’s worth exploring if some of those laws may be out of date.

There does seem to be an awful lot of secrecy and legal red tape around this case
Bit of a stretch. I just want as much transparency as possible in our legal system.Bit Tommy Robinson

There’s an article I shouldn't tell you about – is contempt law in a losing battle with reality? | Archie Bland
The concept behind the Contempt of Court Act is laudable, but in the age of social media it is clear an update is needed, says Archie Bland, editor of the Guardian’s First Edition newsletterwww.theguardian.com
Neither do I, but I think there’s a compelling case to be made for bringing a 40-year old law up to date with the internet age.I don’t buy the idea that the professional press should hold themselves to the same standards as boblotsanumbers on X.
There’s a significant minority who get their news piped to say exactly what the want of their opinions to be satedThis is always read media whining that they can’t join in the social media rumour mill and speculation fest TBH.
I don’t buy the idea that the professional press should hold themselves to the same standards as boblotsanumbers on X.
While a case is ongoing I don’t see the public interest in allowing excessive media reporting. Even in 2024 reading something on Facebook and reading it in The Mail are treated differently by the vast majority of people.
Found guilty of attempted murder on a different baby
Having listened to the detail I can't for the life of me work out why this needed a retrial.
Literally seen stood over the baby after messing with the breathing tube, not doing anything to save it....
There does seem to be a number of journalists looking into this and questioning her guilt. If there is anything to it or not I have no idea. Would be a huge miscarriage of justice if she's taken the fall for failings at the hospital.Is that actually a thing, that people think it's a miscarriage of justice?
Genuinely don't know either way as I haven't kept tabs with any of the case, I just assumed she was bang to rights, didn't she have a diary recording everything that she'd done?
I thought other factors convicted her. The diary was argued as a feeling guilty died on her watch kind of admission rather than actually killing them.Is that actually a thing, that people think it's a miscarriage of justice?

Down to interpretation though isn't it, then expert opinion relied on?I thought other factors convicted her. The diary was argued as a feeling guilty died on her watch kind of admission rather than actually killing them.
There was a similar case in Canada or something. Same sort of thing, a nurse was banged up for a bunch of deaths on her ward, the statistics were the smoking gun which were later proved to be wrong.There does seem to be a number of journalists looking into this and questioning her guilt.

There are quite a number who think it’s a miscarriage of justice. Apparently a lot of hypothesising on the prosecutions part rather than bang to rights evidence.Is that actually a thing, that people think it's a miscarriage of justice?

Enough doubt to challenge the beyond reasonable doubt criterion for a guilty verdict.program on 5 now casting doubt that the evidence is sound
The thing is, you may not have been completely convinced that she didn’t do it, but were you convinced, beyond reasonable doubt, that she did.Interesting watch, Not completely convinced me she didn't do it but certainly enough I think to have it looked at.
Said this before. Absolutely no harm in checking to see that they got it right and that new information doesn't change anything.Interesting watch, Not completely convinced me she didn't do it but certainly enough I think to have it looked at.

It has to be an appeal court, but they seem remarkably reluctant to review cases - hence innocent people stay in jail for decades.Who is going to "check" it?
Sad isn't it.It has to be an appeal court, but they seem remarkably reluctant to review cases - hence innocent people stay in jail for decades.
I’ve read a few articles now, and Private Eye has been covering it too.She's innocent . That's my take.
Most of the recent TV programme was based on what is presented in this article. More and more commentators seem to be casting doubt on the safety of the verdict. I read recently that a review could take 5 years which is incredibly sad if true and if Letby is innocent.
Neonatal nurses ‘resigning amid Lucy Letby fallout’
Staff fear being accused of harming babies, senior consultants sayswww.telegraph.co.uk
Neonatal nurses are resigning from Britain’s baby units because they fear being accused of harming infants like in the case of Lucy Letby, a consultant has claimed in a new Channel 5 documentary.
In the documentary, which looks into concerns with the Letby conviction, Dr Svilena Dimitrova, a consultant neonatologist, warned that NHS problems were “endemic” and nurses were frightened they could be scapegoated for failing wards.
An experienced neonatal nurse, who chose to remain anonymous, told the documentary-makers the Letby conviction had left staff concerned that they may be accused of killing babies.
“It’s made me and others quite worried,” she said. “I think there is a general fear of speaking up.
“The conviction has had a negative effect on our profession, it’s made us more worried about what the parents might think.
“I think it’s alarming how they’ve thrown allegations at Lucy. I realise how easily it could have been one of my colleagues or me. What’s gone on with Lucy is very close to home.”
