Madness, Mania, Mayhem or Murder
The more that you delve into the legal shambles that is the Lucy Letby trial the deeper you dive the more astonished you become.
What is frightening is that all this duty roster 'coincidence' stuff was not something new it was the basis in fact for several other miscarriages of justice and the Crown knew this.
Indeed almost all of the concocted evidence brought to trial was not just contrived and prejudicial it was sometimes even wrong!
And the Crown knew this too!
Why?
Well that is a good question, that this book tries to explore..

The intriguing thing is that this legal assault on nurses is not something new.
The cases of Beverley Allot, Victorian Chua and Colin Norris in the UK and Lucia De Berk in Holland and Daniela Poggiali in Italy are all are starkly similar in that there is no real evidence, only a correlation with the duty roster and incidents of police interest, highly incriminating doodles on the advice of mental health counselors, and an abundance of circumstantial evidence which is highly ambiguous and all like Lucy Letby strongly refuted the accusations against them.

Notably all the others were convicted because they were outsiders, basically disliked and easily picked on after the fact. Letby was different as she appears to have been well liked and popular. Yet the CPS thought this a winnable case - and it clearly was because they made sure it was as they with the connivance of the Cheshire Police rigged it.

What's more the defence counsel' was provided by Legal Aid i.e. The Crown but are they not ethically obliged to provide at least an adequate defence? Seemingly not. There is concern that people getting Legal Aid are encouraged by their legal counsel to plead guilty or at least claim mitigating circumstances for their actions.. And as said in the parliamentary debate the defence strategy through incompetency or by design has well and truly salted the earth for future appeals.

How a trial that was 6 years in the making and lasted 10 months could leave us with far more questions than answers is frankly, remarkable. But a fine testimony to the adversarial jury system where no one cares about surfacing the truth they only want to win - the trial is just theatre. It's not justice, its a travesty of justice.
