I keep coming back to the below text, in particular the bolded part. I don't know why but I have this niggling feeling it fits what prosecution believe is her MO. There's been several references to her parents and childhood. Thinking out loud is all.

Letby replied: “Cockington is gorgeous!! We always go there for afternoon tea. Dad was offered a job in Paignton many moons ago, could have been a very different childhood growing up by the sea. Looking forward to going back.

Lucy Letby told colleague she ‘wanted to cry’ after baby collapsed

MURDER-ACCUSED nurse Lucy Letby told a colleague she “wanted to cry” after a baby in her care had collapsed, her trial has heard.

I must admit I wondered what this was all about too. Subtle but it makes one wonder.

LL was on shift the day before and fed him before handover to night-shift staff and his x-ray at 8pm revealed "striking gaseous distension throughout the stomach and whole bowel". She was also still in the unit writing up her notes for baby O at 8.51pm.

Just an idea, was she “waiting” to see what happened if she was still there writing her notes perhaps.

isn this a bit lacking or did we just get testimony from dr evans ?
normally we see testimony regarding things going on in the unit at the time of the alleged attack.

I think you asked this yesterday, about testimony from nurses on shift we haven't heard, but there wasn't any reporting at beginning of week when this would have been presented.

The one and only tweet on Monday about any nurse giving evidence was -

Great, so the jury is going to be played agreed portions of her police interviews. I think it's really important for them, if she's not giving evidence in court.

Cheers. Wasn’t sure if it came before or after and now courts not on for a while.

I wonder if Sophie Ellis is still in the witness box?

That was Monday afternoon, I hope not

The expert evidence always comes after all the doctors' and nurses' evidence

I hope Baby Q isn't brain damaged!

Cheers tortoise bet your tired of pointing out where the case is to people.

”here stands sophie Ellis, she stood in the witness box, forever”

I think perhaps these days off tomorrow and possibly Monday are for the prosecution and the defence to go through her taped police interviews and agree on which parts they each want to show the jury, then they will have to be put together in a compilation. That must be really time consuming, considering she was interviewed quite extensively.

So no trial from 10th to 19th April?

From the 7th, it looks like. Then back for a half day on the 17th and then another day off on the 18th. (Just going by @notsure 's above post.)

Slackers! That's way too much holiday!

What are we supposed to do in the interim?? What about us??!

 

[Dcflag]

Week 21 and only the dedicated are still here. I wonder if we will get any snippets of police interview released? It’s been so hard with such sparse reporting to follow it would be nice to have something solid to be able to discuss.

 

[Tortoise]

There must be something special happening on that half day on the 17th, for them to have to come in and then break again until the 19th.

Reckon it's been set aside for the defence case?

I can't imagine they will be released to the media but we will get transcripts imo

It's usually released to the media if there's a conviction

 

[DinerMite]

I imagine a lot will be released to and by the media if they secure a conviction. Will be interesting to see what comes out afterwards either way. Although, I imagine it's unlikely we will get snippets whilst still ongoing, probably just the reporters transcribing?

What a hopeless day for Defence.
Attacking Dr E. (instead of facts) seems the only tactic.
Yawn.
