Manchester Crown Court (Crown Square)

She denied deliberately harming any baby.

The case would eventually proceed to Manchester Crown Court.

The first trial began in October 2022.

By then, years had passed since the first deaths.

The question for the jury was whether those allegations had been proved, and that would depend on much more than the sequence of incidents alone.

Chapter eight: Inside the courtroom.

The trial of Lucy Letby began at Manchester Crown Court in October twenty twenty-two.

It would continue for more than ten months.

You know, the police would have told us that they'd uncovered not just a mass serial rapist, someone on the scale of of 200 victims is beyond anything we've ever known, anything that's ever happened.

So we didn't initially believe it to be true but we walked across the road, went to Manchester Crown Court and the trial was underway.

The first time I walked into the courtroom for the case and I saw Sinaga sat between two security officers in the dock and I thought, I must be in the wrong trial.

I just couldn't stop looking at him.

There were other charges: false imprisonment, conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm, and attempted murder November 16th, 1993.

The trial began at Manchester Crown Court.

Present in the dock were five defendants, Gene Powell, twenty-six, Bernadette McNeely, twenty-four, Glen Powell, twenty-nine, Anthony Dudson, seventeen, and Jeffrey Lee, twenty-seven.

Clifford Pook was acquitted due to insufficient evidence.

The defense would later describe them as expressions of distress, guilt, and self-loathing, uh, written during a period when Letby believed she was being blamed for events beyond her control, and I can see that.

In November 2022, Lucy Letby went on trial at Manchester Crown Court.

She was charged with the murder of seven babies and the attempted murder of 10 others.

Later amended to additional counts covering incidents between 2015 and 2016.

He told people before he carried out the murders and when his mother and father were still alive that he was gonna come into some money, an inheritance.

On the 20th of February, 2013, the case against Stephen Seddon was finally brought to Manchester Crown Court.

Seddon pleaded not guilty to the murders of his parents, Robert and Patricia, and their attempted murders in the canal crash.

This is an individual who's always making up these very tall stories, and I think there was a real concern on the part of the police and the Crown Prosecution Service that if you stuck this guy in front of a jury, he could manipulate them, because this guy was a con man.

They also found a video of Joshua stabbing a mattress with a knife.

Joshua and Adam's trial started on the 18th of June 2019, and it was held at Manchester Crown Court.

At the time, both Joshua and Adam were 17 years old, and they were referred to as Boy A and Boy B.

But when they turned 18, their names were made public.

He shouted, where is the justice for my son? Yusuf's sister, Jade, later told the media that her family felt like they'd lost him all over again.

And it wasn't just his family that were outraged at the trial's conclusion.

Around 120 people stood outside of Manchester Crown Court, each holding a poster that featured Yusuf's photo alongside the words, Justice for Yusuf Maki.

But this was not the end.
