not a single mention of what evidence there was other than a handwritten note, not the guardians best work.
- They did in one case:
  a newborn weighing less than 1kg (2lb) who was fatally injected with air
  
  That’s a charge not evidence
- The trial heard how Letby murdered newborns by injecting air into their tiny bodies, in some cases shattering their diaphragms, or in one case by pushing a tube down an infant’s throat. She tried to kill two babies by lacing their feeding bags with insulin.
  
  That’s the charge, evidence would be eg camera footage or a witness seeing them put insulin in feeding bags
