Jurors told to decide where truth lies in trial of murder-accused nurse Lucy Letby
Jurors in the trial of murder-accused nurse Lucy Letby have been told they "must decide where the truth lies".
Mr Justice Goss told the jury: "In 2015 and 2016, there was a significant rise in the number of babies who suffered sudden and unexpected collapses in the neonatal unit." But he said it was the defendant's case that "she was a dedicated, caring and conscientious nurse who never did anything to harm any child".Outlining further legal directions, Mr Justice Goss said it was for the jury to consider the 22 charges and decide what evidence was "significant and relevant" to each count.
"First, it may make it less likely that she would deliberately harm any babies she cared for at the hospital. Mr Justice Goss added there had "inevitably been delays" between the alleged offences, the taking of witness statements and giving evidence at the trial.
