Yeah it’s a weird bunch of statements, alongside “it’ll come down to how her personality comes over in court”. No it won’t, it’ll come down to the evidence produced by prosecution and defence……? Personality is just one part of it.

Personal experience, :cry:. The magistrates are much more "letter of the law". They will always give "doubt" if there is any. The fact that she wasn't caught red-handed would carry a lot of weight with a magistrate.
I don't know how much circumstantial evidence there was, of course, because while a magistrate will dismiss circumstantial evidence there comes a point where it is overwhelming... and it might be that in her case. I don't know.

But as I said, the notes are damming. These are equivalent to signed confessions. It all depends on what reasons she gave for writing that, and whether her reasons hold water with a psychiatrist. My guess is, it doesn't. Looks to me like she was accepting blame for something she "knew" was not the hand of God, and that takes some explaining.

With a jury, it is one of the most important factors when there is no absolute proof.
 
I mean that note she left if real. I know it can't be used as a confession but wow. Is she denying charges? Sorry I'm not up on this. Terrible case.

I see she denies it. Ooooook.

Not saying "I am evil I did this" and a load of dead babies. I'd call guilty and take her for a helicopter ride

This case is a very hard one, on one hand these babies either died or had issues during the times this nurse was on duty, other times she was there when it happened

This doesn't automatically make her guilty, and I personally don't think the evidence exists to pin all these on her either.

I am unsure how this is going to pan out but I don't think the jury will all be aligned on this but what do I know.

I would hate for someone to go down for the rest of there life for something they haven't done.

From the outset there seems to have been a lot of uncertainty over the evidence presented and a lot of discrediting.
If it does turn out to be the management lumping blame on the nurse to cover their own failings, it would explain her going off the rails with things like those notes, and it certainly wouldn't be the first time a nurse has been made a scapegoat for such departmental shortcomings. Likely not the last, either, and I've personally known several nurses to whom it happened, which is what has me wondering about the 'evidence' in this case.

Even if she's completely exonerated, though, she'll possibly never work again. No healthcare place would take her anyway, and most other industries would likley refuse her based on reputation from the high profile court case.
 
I'd hope they had enough compelling evidence to bring charges like this against a health care professional.
 
I read a lot of the evidence produced and although not the full story I didn't think it painted a picture of a murderer of babies. In fact a lot of the evidence I read just suggested that something was going on that a scapegoat could have been easily made. If I was on the jury I wouldn't be able to find this women guilty (But I doubt I saw all the evidence!)

As for life after, agreed she is finished, but if she does get found not guilty it shouldn't be like that. She should be able to work again and ideally she should be able to go back to her old job!!!

As long as they get a charge, they can claim a detected crime on their stats....

We’ve only heard snippets. The trial has been going on a very long time… the jury must have been living and breathing this stuff for months.

No, I think he's implying the evidence may not be so concrete and they simply brought these charges to tally their crime stats.

Strange perspective to hold, considering the crimes and suspect involved, which is why I sort clarification.

Well the evidence must be pretty strong or the CPS wouldn’t have proceeded to trial.
