Judge says the other five charges are not officially on file, because she’s appealing and if her convictions were quashed, she’d have to have a retrial. They’re basically on file though. The media have to say something like “prosecution don’t presently intend to proceed with the other five...

Sun journalist just been told off and told to change his article

Judge says can report the charge to be retried, and that prosecution don’t intend to retry other charges. Can say the proposed length of the trial is 2-3 weeks. Cannot report any evidence of Baby K charge, or anything relating to it.

I agree. I respect his medical expertise and judgement, but he cannot stop running his mouth. However, I think he already is working with the prosecution

LL and a male screw are sitting together at a desk, waiting for court to resume. The image is a small thumbnail, but as far as I can see they are not interacting with each other.

Dr Dewi Evans was in the media about many more dislodged breathing tubes when LL was on shift, dating back to 2014. This could be extra evidence to back up the Baby K retrial. Dr Dewi blabbing to the media probably compromised that evidence though.

Well I got lost and was late enough to miss much of the action. Disaster for me. Got the last seat in the gallery. <modsnip: Name calling not allowed> is indeed in HMP Newhall, looking very glum in a bright blue shirt. Her eyebrows were constantly sadly raised looking sorry for herself. She...

I’m in Manchester to see the hearing in person. Not had a wink of sleep, nothing wrong with the hotel but I’m nocturnal :’( How interesting ! But regularly dobbing in other students is a bit unusual, that would have got her beaten up at a lot of schools!

Thank you for this thoughtful response, I’m glad you liked the video :) I agree with your perception about her lying. I actually think duper’s delight was one of her two primary driving forces, along with power and control. There’s a 10% minority of Munchausens whose motivation is not...

This story is odd, and the mother’s reaction is odd. I’ll wait to see how this develops. RIP to the children.

Not quite right, Grandpa was a serial burglar:

This was my impression too. She knew he fancied her and played him like a fiddle. I do not believe for one moment Dr Choc’s claims that she had an “unrequited affection” for him. I do believe that Dr Choc set out to woo her, but he was thinking with his “little brain” and so LL was able to...

I hope they do, the victims and their families deserve it. I hope they don’t go down the “no chance of a fair trial” route: surely the jury would appreciate that they owe the family the truth, and a false conviction would actually harm them by making them wrongly think their baby was...

I agree with this. The prosecution’s suggestion that with existing chaos, Lucy took the opportunity to attack when all eyes were elsewhere. But I think she was actively creating and exacerbating chaos, in order to sabotage other babies and sabotage the work of her colleagues. Also to enjoy the...

I agree. If you look at her victim selection, it's multiples so she could enjoy the parent's grief for longer, babies that had overcome adversity, or parents that had overcome adversity to have a baby. The other nurse who believes her baby was poisoned with insulin had had 6 miscarriages...

Many people said she came across as cocky and a smart arse on the stand. I didn't personally see cockiness, just somebody very self-assured, professional and assertive, but she certainly didn't seem defeated when I saw her, except at one point: when asked about the fact her defense say she cared...

Apparently the court listing for today is gone… Edit: wrong, it’s still there but with reporting restrictions. Thanks @Tortoise and @Parker Knoll

Probably completely unbothered tbh. She knows she’s guilty. But she’ll put on a show for her parents when the verdicts come in.

I'm pretty sure the reporting has ramped up only because going to a majority can mean that the decisions are speeded up. I think the press are just taking their chances at a good bet for when the verdicts will be in. Logically, if only one juror was causing problems, the verdicts could be very...

Glad I was never sympathetic to this woman. I thought the initial coverage was very, very easy on her, just because of her status as a middle-class doctor. There was widespread hand-wringing and the assumption that the poor thing must have been catastrophically mentally ill. But no, it was...
