Random Irritations

Just asking, not querying. how is David Davies or white ever his name is a medical expert. I have seen him having his say in recent months.
I think he's just championing her case for miscarriage of justice. I know there is a groundswell of talk she didn't do it but I've not really followed it in great detail.
 
Blimey

Where were these panel of experts during the initial case ?

Believe they are investigating the case as part of an appeal maybe

Probably, funded by the defence or totally independent? I expect they were investigating each individual death separately and not taking into account all the other evidence like all the deaths occurred on her watch, the letters like already mentioned.
 
If she is innocent - what a terrible, terrible miscarriage of justice. I've been sure she was an evil murderer. I can't put into words...
…thing is…on what basis and understanding did you and others thinking likewise form your opinion and become so sure…? Quite. We may think we are informed on such matters, but we are only as informed as those who wish us to form a specific view (and they will have a clear agenda) enable us to be.

We should understand by now in respect of views that we form and decisions that make, that we are only as informed or ill-informed on important matters as others want us to be.

Why we the public should only very rarely, if ever, be asked to decide on really important public life-changing matters.

Being honest I’m not sure , didn’t really read up much about it the first time because it would make my blood boil
 
There’s a documentary on iPlayer.
Watched it last week.
Personally I think she’s guilty,but several “experts” seem to think there’s a chance she’s not.

Just blows my mind how a nurse could do it.
 
I was saying this slightly tongue in cheek as we just have guilty or not guilty. We don't have shades of guilt. I do get what Slime was saying but that would need a wholesale change in our system. The legal bods would have a meltdown, it would just not happen.
Is that really the case, though?
Whenever the death penalty is discussed, so many seem to think that the debate is about those in favour of a death penalty expect ALL who are found guilty of murder to be executed

It doesn’t have to be like that. You could have a system whereby the Judge decides the sentence, which may be execution or anything else.
(Murders ; of course, range from the Southport murders, through to mercy killings)

The judge will have much much more information about the case than ever comes out in open court. He will also be experienced in whether the jury’s ( laypeople, as has been pointed out) verdict is 100 percent correct, or whether there is the faintest possibility it may be wrong..
This allows the cases where overwhelming evidence is present , and where there is no doubt,to be considered for execution e.g. Southport case.
I believe other Countries have similar set ups, 1st degree and 2nd degree murder etctt
 
I don't get it. If they're saying there's a chance the babies weren't murdered, then how are they proposing they all died? Just gross incompetence??
