Vertigo Swirl:
I’m astounded that on a forum called Miscarriage of Justice UK that there hasn’t been any discussion about this case.  Is no one interested?

I am, but then I think she is guilty.

The General:
OK thanks. Close the thread....

The General:
Joking.
I think we may have a broad consensus on this one for a change, although I could be wrong.
We could delve in to the miscarriage element and the preponderance of circumstantial evidence, notwithstanding the disputed medical evidence / expert testimony.

Vertigo Swirl:
As I wrote on another thread I was convinced she was guilty and a few months ago waded into a discussion online about it with people who are (IMO) the equivalent of 2007/08 McCann sceptics, i.e: apparently dedicating their whole lives to a justice campaign with a ferocity and determination not to mention unlimited reserves of stamina and bitchiness that was initially quite bewildering.  These people (mostly women) had an answer for absolutely everything I threw at them but I had to admit defeat in the end as their knowledge of the minutiae of the case far exceeded mine.  In fact I actually think without an in-depth knowledge of the science involved it’s pretty difficult to draw conclusions either way and that was a strong part of their argument.  That jurors aren’t really qualified or knowledgeable enough to make a value judgement about evidence in such cases.  Of course there’s loads of circumstantial evidence, just as there is in the case of Bruckner, but most if not all can be explained away and is easily dismissed by the Lucy Letby fan club.  Then of course there’s is the independent investigations by various highly regarded publications such as Private Eye and the New Yorker, and the support of many extremely well regarded scientists and medical experts such as we saw at the press conference yesterday, all convinced that LL has been the victim of a terrible miscarriage of justice.
I really don’t want to admit it but I think they may have a point, terrible though it is for the parents of these babies to be put through his re-examination of the evidence in the mainstream media and social media, but should their feelings be considered when there is a possibility that an innocent woman will be spending the rest of her life behind bars?
