Lucy Letby murder trial jury begin deliberations
Lucy Letby, 32, allegedly injected her victims with air or poisoned them with insulin while working at the Countess of Chester Hospital between June 2015 and 2016.
Mr Justice Goss told the jury of eight women and four men at Manchester Crown Court that they must "be sure of the defendant's guilt or not" in all the allegations. Judge Mr Justice James Goss said many of the children had suffered "unexpected life-threatening collapses" and reminded the jury that the prosecution had argued there were many "common factors".Mr Johnson also included 11 other common themes, from unusual skin discolouration to the babies collapsing just after having been visited by parents. The judge said prosecutors had argued "this is not a series of unconnected events".
During the trial Ms Letby said the handover sheets recovered from her home were taken from the hospital in error.
