Nurse on Trial for Alleged Baby Harm: Jury Told to Approach Deliberations Objectively

The trial of nurse Lucy Letby has concluded, and the jury has been instructed to approach their deliberations in a calm and objective manner.

The jury must judge the case based on evidence and not speculation.

The prosecution alleges that Letby deliberately harmed seven babies and attempted to kill ten others, while the defence argues that there were other possible causes for the collapses.

The jury must decide whether Letby is guilty of any offense, and if they are unsure, their verdict should be not guilty.

The trial is expected to conclude next week with the judge summing up the evidence and the jury beginning their deliberations.
