Re: CRUEL Crazy American Starts Fundraiser Appeal For 'Innocent' Killer Nurse Lucy Le
Lucy Letby Fundraiser Launched to Appeal Killer Nurses' Conviction For Murdering Babies
A 'scientist' in California has launched the Science on Trial campaign to appeal Lucy Letby's convictions, describing them as representing the "greatest miscarriage of justice" in UK history
Imagine The Additional Pain This Nutter Will Cause to Distraught Parents Who Are Suffering Enough - HOW DARE SHE...
BBC 25 AUG 2023
It has been set up by Sarrita Adams - a 'scientific consultant' based in California - "to ensure that scientific evidence is used responsibly in the criminal justice system".
She hopes to recruit scientists and lawyers, among others, to help with the appeal. Donations are not yet open on the website but there is a "coming soon" note.
Sarrita Adams’ Credibility
The Telegraph has done some digging on Adams, and found that, though the sites' founder describes herself as ‘a scientist with rare expertise in rare paediatric diseases’ , Adams has not worked as a scientist since obtaining her PhD in biochemistry from Cambridge University.
It turns out that she has only ever published two pieces of unsuccessful research, according to PubMed database of biochemical research, and the last was in 2013.
The site states: "Our first mission is to campaign for a new trial for Lucy Letby, who was recently convicted of murdering infants, under her care at the Countess of Chester Hospital, UK.
Through fundraising, researching, and legal assistance, we aim to ensure that Lucy Letby can have a fair trial where evidence is reliable. We are currently working to form a group of scientists, lawyers, and activists to aid in the upcoming appeal for Lucy Letby."
In a separate statement, Ms Adams goes on criticise the medical evidence that was presented at the trial. This includes the level of insulin detected in two of Letby's victims - this is despite the killer not denying they were injected with insulin. Instead, she said it was not her who did it. Medical expert Dr Dewi Evans' evidence was also criticised.
Ms Adams describes herself as “a scientist with rare expertise in rare paediatric diseases”. According to her online LinkedIn profile, she has a PhD in biochemistry from Cambridge University, but does not work as a scientist

Evil baby killer Lucy Letby, who is the fourth woman in Britain to be handed a whole-life sentence, will spend the rest of her life behind bars, rubbing shoulders with some of the most notorious female murderers
Twisted serial killer Lucy Letby - who fooled friends and family into believing she was just an ordinary and 'vanilla' young woman - is set to die behind bars.
The former NHS neonatal nurse, 33, is the fourth woman in Britain to be handed a whole-life order, which is reserved for only the most heinous crimes.
Her campaign of terror on innocent infants in her care took place between June 2015 and June 2016 at the Countess of Chester Hospital, where she deliberately harmed babies by injecting them with air and insulin or overfeeding them with milk.
It was five years ago that she was escorted out of her child-like bedroom and put into the back of a police car in handcuffs. What followed was a lengthy 10-month trial in which she was found her guilty of murdering seven babies and attempting to kill six others. While she has spent time in four prisons so far, nothing will have prepared her for her new lifelong sentence as a Category A prisoner with a target on her head.
The average life sentence is 16.5 years, but 'whole-lifers' cannot escape - the Parole Board will never review their case. Letby will likely start her sentence in either HMP Bronzefield in Surrey, where she's already served time, or at HMP Low Newton, in Durham.
Bronzefield is the largest women's prison in Europe, where Rose West spent time before being transferred. Current inmates include Shauna Hoare, who was found guilty of manslaughter for the killing of Becky Watts in 2015; and the al-Qaeda fanatic Roshonara Choudhry, who stabbed Labour MP Stephen Timms in 2010.
Meanwhile, Low Newton, a maximum security prison, has housed female killers Joanna Dennehy, Rose West, Bernadette McNeilly, and the mother of tragic tot Baby P, Tracey Connelly.
A former inmate of Bronzfield, Sophie Campell, claimed her time at the women's prison was so disturbing that she was compelled to write a memoir about it, Breakfast At Bronzefield. The woman, who was convicted for GBH of a police officer, said violence was commonplace within the jail's walls.
Releasing her story in 2020, she said: "I couldn't believe how offenders were treated by the officers. You wonder how they got away with a lot of it – neglecting inmates in their cells, depriving them of their meals, not giving them much-needed medical attention, or being too rough during searches."
She added: "As well as same-sex relationships thriving in Bronzefield, some female prisoners were engaging in sexual favours with the officers to get drugs or food, and that was a real shock for me. It's so horrible how normalised it is, often gossiped and giggled about.
"Violence is everywhere. It puts you on edge. You have to be alert as a situation can escalate rapidly. That's why you learn to adopt a new code of conduct inside."
She also spoke of witnessing a woman having boiling hot water thrown over her face during her first few weeks, adding: "It rattles you. You know it could be you – say the wrong thing, or look at the wrong person and you could be burned and blistered and never offered medical treatment."
Experts say that Letby will have 'restricted status' for an inmate, which is considered the female equivalent of Category A - meaning she is the highest-risk threat to the public. It is said she will be on suicide watch for some months and it will be a while before she is integrated with other prisoners.
She will start off her whole life sentence living in the hospital wing of the prison while they assess her mental and physical health, and as a way of protecting her safety from other inmates. Eventually, she'll be moved into her own cell.
This is a routine procedure for every inmate found guilty of murder, on the assumption that anyone who faces decades in prison will contemplate taking their own life. It will take place in a number of forms - from CCTV cameras watching Letby to direct supervision from officers, noting her moves every 10 minutes.
"She'll be what's known as a 'restricted status' prisoner," Mark Leech, a prisons expert and editor of The Prison Oracle website told the Telegraph. "She'll be on suicide watch and it will be some time before she gets to mingle with the main prison population - at least six months."
