With the very public demise of the "confession note" as a credible piece of evidence, the unravelling continues. It has long been known that these scrawlings were not "a confession" by anyone who wanted to know.
The witch-burners- "she confessed, she said I am evil I did this. Why would she confess?
Everyone else - "she didn't confess, she was told to write down what she felt others thought, by her counsellor"
The witch burners- "but she confessed, she said I am evil I did this. Why would she confess?
Repeat ad nauseam until the media accepts this known truth and prints it and suddenly the witch-burners act as if some "new evidence" has just appeared. The question as to why the counsellor in question wasn't called by the defence, the mystery remains.
It is clear, and known, that pressure was applied to those who supported LL. The witnesses were as "curated" as the "medical and "statistical evidence". That "curation" was to tell a narrative that suited the interests of the curators and to exclude the stats, med evidence and witnesses that contradicted the story that was being told.
The "confession" was considered by the witch burners to be the most damning of the so called "circumstantial case" that pointed to her guilt. Now the truth of the nature of the scribblings is accepted by all, the conviction unravels further. So far we have had very public demolitions of the medical and circumstantial "case" against LL. I expect that the next domino to fall in the public glare will be the bogus statistical evidence. It seems to me that a strategy is unfolding to dismantle the conviction very publicly.
Broadly speaking, the conviction is underpinned by the triumvirate of medical, circumstantial and statistical evidence;
Medical evidence; Dewi Evans now trashed "theories".
Circumstantial; "Confession note" now widely accepted as a mis-representation/lie by all objective observers.
Statistical; The about to be publicly demolished lie that LL was on duty for all the deaths.
The unfolding strategy is the public dismantling of everything that underpins this conviction in order to comprehensively undermine the whole conviction in a glare of huge publicity to force action from the moribund "justice system".
I would expect, given the above and events so far, that it will soon become widely known that there were 16/17 deaths on the unit during the relevant time frame. LL wasn't on duty for anything near all of the deaths. She was charged with 7 and the door swipe evidence seems to suggest that she wasn't present for one of those 7. So 6/7 out of 16/17 raises the obvious questions that I posed earlier. Who decided which of the 16/17 deaths were suspicious(Jayaram, Brearley?) post fact. What were the criteria for designating a death suspicious? (we all know it was simply "Was LL on duty or not"). These questions will be asked and probably already have been by Mark McDonald's team.
Expect in the next week or so for media to trash the statistical evidence.
