Only a little. I think she didn't do it, though I'm basing my hunch on a stat that there's this one doctor out there with a very high mortality rate of patients, which seems alarming but once you realise that he's the only doctor around in a very remote part of the UK full of primarily elderly people, it makes a bit more sense.
For Lucy, I think I mostly just don't want to believe that anyone could be so cruel. I don't believe it.
That's what I thought it's so horrible its unbearable. When you look into the evidence against her (not just what was reported in the press) it's overwhelming. Just reading the final few hours of the live feed on her cross examination tells you a lot
:The nurses advocating for her sound like they're doing it not just for Lucy but for themselves too, in the sense that they're terrified that they'd be next under prosecution
My understanding of the medical field is that responsibility propogates up, and many many people uo the chain of command would have to fail a patient, with the blame resting on the registrar, so it is either strange or really damning of her that they pinned this all on Lucy.
I can't make heads of it
I totally understand the fear, shit rolls downhill and high ups pin it on the most vulnerable person. There's a lot of bullying in the NHS so I'm sure people get mistreated.
Scary thing is the managers were covering for Lucy and the inquiry has shown just how much. She was in supportive text contact with one of the highest management! This quick read gives an overview
