Here is the case we should be hearing about today, if court continues.
www.dailymail.co.uk
Child J was born prematurely at 32 weeks and two days gestation, on October 31, 2015, at the Countess of Chester Hospital.
She had an operation for a bowel disorder at Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool before returning to the neo-natal unit at Chester on November 10, 2015.
Days later, her medical notes showed she was doing well and was healthy, the jury at Chester Crown Court heard.
But she suffered an unexplained collapse overnight on November 26/27 when Letby was one of the six nurses working the night shift.
Before her shift started, Letby texted a work colleague complaining that the babies she was to look after, including Child J, only needed help feeding.
Mr Johnson, prosecuting, told the jury: 'It appears, we suggest, that working in nurseries three and four was not sufficiently stimulating for Lucy Letby.'

But she suffered an unexplained collapse overnight on 26/27 November when Lucy Letby was one of the six nurses working the night shift.
She suffered two serious problems with her breathing in the night and was moved to a high-dependency room.
At 6.56am on 27 November, her oxygen level dropped so low it was unrecordable and she went into seizure.
At 7.20am, Letby gave the baby a glucose infusion, then minutes later child J collapsed again with a seizure and had to be resuscitated with the help of a doctor, but he could not explain why it had happened again.
An independent medical expert who reviewed child J’s case said it was "of concern and consistent with some form of obstruction of her airways, such as smothering".
Lucy Letby 'tried to kill baby girl four times before succeeding'
The 32-year-old allegedly killed five boys and two girls, and faces a total of 22 charges of both murder and attempted murder involving 17 babies.
