Interview With Michele Worden On Lucy Letby Latest

Michele Worden reacts to the Channel 4 documentary and provides further analysis of the prosecution's conduct. She argues that Dr Evans's media interviews reveal a man who protests too much — his continued insistence on guilt, and his defensive posture in interview, undermines rather than reinforces his credibility. She discusses the treasure box found in Letby's home, arguing it was a normal professional keepsake entirely misrepresented by the prosecution. She is particularly animated about the way normal neonatal nursing behaviour — such as attending to multiple sick babies, staying late and taking notes home — was weaponised as evidence of predatory intent. She also criticises barrister Nick Johnson's use of arrest clothing details during cross-examination as a deliberate emotional manipulation designed to inflame the jury.

Michele Worden

Every nurse on a neonatal unit keeps records, takes notes home, stays late, cares deeply. If you treat all of that as suspicious, every nurse in the country is a suspect.

Michele Worden

The treasure box was a memory box. Nurses keep things. It is part of the culture of care. To present it as a trophy is either ignorance or deliberate manipulation.

Watch him in that interview. He cannot let it go. That is not the behaviour of a confident scientist. That is the behaviour of someone who knows the ground is shifting.
