After reading into the case and the evidence against Letby, everything against her seemed really flimsy. But when I went to check what the British subreddits were saying, the consensus was that only idiot Americans would believe she was innocent and only because we hadn't followed along during the trial.
Yet all the evidence that they kept pointing to (Letby's notes stating guilt, supposedly) were all explainable with broader context. Like the notes themselves could easily be from someone shaken by what they felt were inadequate skills rather than an actual admission of guilt. All the notes combined would point this way and it would make more fucking sense than a murderer writing "I AM EVIL I DID THIS".
In the course of all of this, the hospital continued to hide their own inability to care for these babies and used Letby as a scapegoat. It's easier for the British to pretend there's a sick murderer than that their healthcare system is crumbling down around them and some of these babies dying could have been prevented.
Read the case for yourself and make up your own mind, but look up online discussions around the time this New Yorker article was posted if you want to see some of the most close-minded discussions you'll ever find. They bring up talking points that the article took pains to disprove.
Maybe Letby is guilty, but I haven't seen anything convincing yet.
That NYer article is enraging. This woman works in the NICU; which is already one of the saddest places in a hospital, and so many of the cases she was called in as support because she cared so...
That NYer article is enraging. This woman works in the NICU; which is already one of the saddest places in a hospital, and so many of the cases she was called in as support because she cared so much. It seems no good deed goes unpunished. It really does sound like their much revered healthcare system is crumbling.
I don't know which British subreddits you looked at, but most of the ones I know about are full of toxic people with horrible opinions. So grain of salt.

I have to say, until now I had thought the appeals here were more or less smoke and mirrors and had said as much on this site. But this new information makes me believe that Letby may be innocent...

Yes, they’re all pretty terrible sadly, which is why I noped out.
I was a bit cranky when I wrote that, so let me be fair to the British subreddits and say the US ones are also toxic :)
oh yeah, no disagreement there.
