    Ladies, I was absolutely hooked by your updates throughout the original trial and the main reason was because it wasn't skewed in any way. You reported the facts every day and let the listener make up their own minds. Thank you for such a riveting series. I cried so much listening to it and one thing it never was, was skewed. You did a brilliant job! Thanks for this latest update, I've been waiting for it. Heartbreaking and I still don't want to believe she did it...

    Having worked for the NHS for the whole of my career, and I'm now able to retire, I can say with absolute conviction that Lucy has been scapegoated for systemic failings of the CoC Hospital. The sewage that contaminated the pipes and sinks etc would have undoubtably left bacteria in the water that staff washed their hands in, prior to undertaking invasive procedures such as the insertion of an umbilical venous catheter. They were caring for babies that they weren't staffed or equipped to care for - babies that were severely premature with the odds of survival stacked against them. I'm still mystified as to why Ben Myers KC did not call the pathologists who conducted the postmortems to give evidence and challenge the presumptions of Dewi Evans - who only had the medical notes with which to draw his conclusions and dismiss the findings of several pathologists. And the statistical evidence only serves to prove that Lucy was 100% on duty when she was meant to be. Why, oh why, did the defence not call a statistician to the witness box? Imagine the litigation and the compensation, for all the families whose babies died, if Lucy had been rightly found innocent and an inquiry found the trust had been negligent and failed in its duty of care. The NHS couldn't allow that, now could it?

    Thank you so much for your coverage of this case! I live in the US and hadn't heard anything about it before I ran across your podcast. I found your coverage to be fair and balanced - thank you for your hard work and dedication to justice!
  • Since reporting restrictions have been lifted the prosecution case has fallen apart.
  • She’s in prison for the rest of her life, what is the point of wasting money
  • @TheShazywolf
    I think people are having such a hard time accepting she's guilty because it's so horrific to think about anyone being capable of such heinous acts that they themselves could never in any circumstances commit themselves. However this is not the first time this has happened, something clearly went wrong at some point in her childhood something that went unnoticed by anyone around her, she had the perfect disguise to keep committing her crimes, we never truly know what people are capable of, we see what they want us to see.

    Yes, I’ve heard claims of the New Yorker article being biased.
  • Proverbs 26:24-26 -- Whoever hates disguises themself with their lips and harbors deceit in their heart; when they speaks graciously, believe them not, for there are seven abominations in their heart; though their hatred be covered with deception, their wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
  • I think LL should Sue The Countess of Chester for false accusations. She says she is innocent and she needs to have a voice. She collected paperwork all her life. The Prosecution cherry picked evidence but it needs to be put into context.
