So those doctors sat with you. They poured out their worries. Did they talk about lucy letby . No, no. They talked actually at the time they didnt name anybody. What they talked about was in what they told when they contacted the chief constable, the fact that a nurse had been moved. They didnt actually name the nurse to me because i was at that meeting. I didnt have a lot of time because i had to make a decision on whether we were commencing an investigation or not. So i was focused on actually what does this mean medically . They told me that somebody had been moved and all the events had stopped. But i wasnt really drawn into that that much at that time. My first thoughts were as an sio, that if i had been doing something and Somebody Else had been moved, then i would stop as well. So, you know, i didnt get drawn into much about what that meant. I was more focused at that point on what has actually happened. So thats what our line of investigation was going to focus on initially. So
was taken out of the countess of chester, and then all of a sudden, things taking a turn for the worse when the child was brought back. we need to show members of the jury we can show you each time there was a baby that got compromised, she had her hand in what was going on, notjust she was there at the time. i know in some cases the defence was saying well you know, her writing is not there, but we knew she was in the vicinity. an awful lot of what you concentrated on is the what, the where and the when. often whether its people watching this case on the tv or reading about it orjuries, they ll often also think about the why, the what drove her. i wonder if that s something that you ve tried to look at at all. we don t have to prove a motive they re highly personal to the perpetrator. so we just stay clear of that. what we ve got to prove is the criminal intent and the ways in which she was inflicting this damage was clearly lethal. you know, she was turning innocuous
