Real Life Crime and Murder #15

[Bread]

There was a through look into it a few years ago. The whole "shaken baby syndrome" which saw her and several other women jailed is under question. The documentary last year explains it very well but this is quite a good synopsis:

'Killer Nanny' Louise Woodward's conviction and questionable evidence behind it

In 1997 British nanny Louise Woodward was convicted of second-degree murder in the US, but she later had the charge changed to involuntary manslaughter in a case that still causes controversy

I didn't believe she was guilty but I felt that his parents had a horrible time of it. Our media was out to destroy them. They lost their baby FFS.

This explains it more fully:

Did the little French boy ever get found?

Last update was August 8th, nothing so far.

This is a very sad case, murdered near her son’s grave by her ex husband.

Their son had the same surname as his father but their daughter goes by her mother’s maiden name. As she was younger than the brother I wonder if she changed it and if so was that a reflection on her relationship with her father?

With Louise Woodward, I was watching the trial at the time, a similar age to her as wel. I just couldn’t shake off a feeling that she was not guilty. I had a horrible feeling come over me whenever I saw Matthew’s mother though. I don’t know why.

I remember this case, I was a little younger at 14. It was huge news in the UK. I thought she did it at the time, but if expert witnesses have said they’d do things differently nowadays then yeah. Maybe the parents…

I think this is a very good article on Lauren Dickason

John MacDonald: Lauren Dickason - murderer and victim

I know you won’t disagree with me that Lauren Dickason’s story is a complete and utter tragedy. Found guilty of murdering her three daughters - two-year-ol

I was the same Treesy, I remember at the time convinced she did it. I’d have to reread it all again now.

I always thought she was guilty until I watched this. Now I’m leaning towards the parents/mother.
I really hope Andrew Gosdens family get answers and JonBenet Ramseys murder is solved.

To be fair, there's no evidence that it was the parents either. There is a chance that the little boy could have fallen or injured himself. I can't remember the details but the documentary explained it.

I thought there was evidence she had lost her temper and was physical with him previously? I could be getting mixed up with another case, I’ll have another look x

There was a 2.5 inch crack in his skull though - some accident if an 8 mth old can even do something so impactful without an adult seeing it or hearing the tears that would have ensued. I think it’s going to be a case we just never know.

Lucy Letby found guilty of murdering 7 babies.
Her conviction has made her the “most prolific killer of babies in modern times”.
Such a sad case, those poor families.

The little c you next Tuesday wasn’t there when the verdicts were announced and won’t be there on monday. It should be mandatory for defendents to hear their verdicts and sentences those poor poor families

I read that the verdicts were given partially a few days and she was in tears when the verdicts were given. Suggesting she was there.

I read that the verdicts were given partially a few days and she was in tears when the verdicts were given. Suggesting she was there.

I read that she was there for the first few verdicts being read out and then stopped attending so wasn’t there for all of them. Her parents seemed totally shocked at the verdicts she must’ve had them all fooled

she was there for the first few but has apparently refused to attend for the most recent ones (they’ve been given in stages).

those poor babies and their poor parents. i couldn’t keep up with her thread in the end but the wiki there is excellent in explaining how hard those babies fought before she took their lives from them. not to mention the children who have been left with lifelong needs because of her

 

[LilPinkie]

The verdict is the verdict but I was totally confused by the information in this trial. It seems she did it as she was on shift, but something has just never sat right with me, I don't know why.

sorry i should have phrased that better I meant she missed today’s verdicts but regardless defendents should be there for everything not sitting in their cell being cowards. This has happened many times and they should face the families

 

[Dollylovesshoes]

I Think the vile piss of tit will get life and that will mean life,she will have I hope the most awful time in prison although maybe solitary.That’s just my thought.

 

[Multi-21]

It’s awful that doctors were raising concerns but they were ignored

Those poor families there can be nothing worse that the very person who should be helping your ill baby being the one who it turns out made sure they couldn’t be saved

Devastating
