Letby Insists She Is Innocent

In the highly publicized aftermath of Lucy Letby having been prosecuted and convicted for the death of seven prematurely born babies, and the attempted murder of at least another ten, still the case goes on, at least behind the scenes.

Amazingly there are still people who believe that Lucy Letby is innocent, in spite of the overwhelming circumstantial evidence, which includes what appears to be a highly incriminating handwritten confession of sorts.

It can be clearly seen that Letby has written...

"I don't deserve to live. I killed them on purpose because I'm not good enough."

"I don't deserve Mum and Dad."

"I am evil. I did this."

The note, written on green note paper, pictured above, was found at Letby's home amongst a morbid plethora of official, highly detailed, medical notes pertaining to each of the victims.

It all started with doctors at the Countess of Chester Hospital neonatal unit being alerted to an unusually high number of premature baby deaths when compared to previous years.

Following this, doctors noticed that Letby was the only member of the medical staff on the ward at the time of each and every death. When doctors went to speak with senior management to express their concerns about Letby, they were fobbed off with the explanation that her continuous presence was merely a coincidence.

However, doctors were not convinced of Letby's innocence, especially when it was later discovered that none of the infant deaths was as a result of natural causes.

In some cases, the babies died as a result of insulin poisoning. In others, it was due to air being injected into the babies' bloodstreams.

And as if to confirm that the problem was all centered around the sinister presence of Letby, since she left the hospital seven years ago, there has not been a single death of any newborn baby.

Now, post-conviction and incarceration for a whole life term, medical colleagues of Letby refuse to accept the guilty verdict. And those friends have been joined by conspiracists who have popped up thousands of miles away in the USA.

"Sarrita Adams, a US scientific consultant who has been following the trial, will shortly launch a fundraiser that seeks to overturn what she has branded 'the greatest miscarriage of justice that the UK has ever witnessed'." claims the Daily Mail online.

Given the amount and strength of all of the circumstantial evidence, medical and personal, collected and presented to the courts during the trial, it is impossible to see how Letby and her supporters can keep up the pretense of innocence even one day more.

Another matter to consider is that by insisting she is innocent, Letby is effectively throwing her medical colleagues under a bus. By claiming she did nothing wrong, Letby is casting a shadow of suspicion over the very colleagues who are misguidedly supporting her. Because if Letby didn't kill those vulnerable, innocent babies, that means one of her colleagues did.

Letby's barrister, Ben Myers KC, claimed that she was an innocent medic being made a scapegoat by a 'Gang of Four' pediatricians on the unit.

Senior hospital managers upheld Letby's complaint against the 'gang' of doctors and at one point demanded that they give Letby written apologies. The senior managers' support for Letby enabled her to remain on the unit long after pediatricians had requested her removal.

As a result of senior management's resistance to the request for Letby to be removed from the neonatal unit, the death toll continued to rise in plain sight of her colleagues. Clearly, there is going to have to be some degree of accountability from those senior managers for the part they played in the further deaths of innocent babies that occurred.
