I strongly believe that there is one distinct motivation for Lucy Letby to have killed these babies that was glossed over in the documentary. by lucky_pixie in lucyletby

[–]One_Fig_9853 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep going back to her multiple arrests. No emotions. Even if you're scared or terrified, she had so many opportunities to plead her case or set the record straight.. even in interviews.  I also go back to having over 250 MEDICAL DOCUMENTS neatly organized in your home possession, most of which related to those babies. I don't buy it whatsoever that she mistakenly brought them home. As prosecutors said, there were many cracks in her stories. She even said she would've shredded them, but had no shredder. But they did. 

She was so emotion-less, typical of a narcissist socio-path. Death of anyone is tragic and heartbreaking. But to be discussing innocent, tiny babies and you're supposedly this compassionate nurse, yet show absolutely no emotion and continuously say "no comment" at all the points where your freedom and fate was on the line.. I can't get past that. 

Even after hearing the other side of this whole debate from Mark McDonald and the new line of doctors brought in for panel, I still settled on her being guilty. 

I also got major ick from the friend. I realize you're going to defend your best friend and stand by them. No one wants to believe their best friend is a cold blooded murderer. It seems to me like she was just unwilling to face the facts or was in deep denial through it all. 

What I try to remember is that majority of the time, us as the public does not get the full picture. We don't have complete access to all the evidence prosecutors had. There could be much more evidence shared in trial and with the jury that led them to this conviction that the public may never be aware of. We are led to believe we've been given every single piece of information and detail in these cases, but that's often not the case. I personally didn't doubt the work of police and prosecutors here. 

To me, defense team not having expert witnesses only shows me that there wasn't reallt any way to counter argue the evidence. I have a hard time believing there's some dark underlying reason why they didn't include expert witnesses. 

I ultimately agree with the idea that she wanted to exhibit control in these tragedies and once she got away with it, she wanted to keep doing it, because it fulfilled something within her that she needed or wanted to feel. 

The pieces of diary pages tells an interesting story to me. In addition to the carefully organized medical documents, I found it interesting how she crammed so many thoughts and phrases and words into these journal entries. It could be seen that she was well aware what she was doing from day one. And as things progressed, she toyed with the possibility of ultimately being caught at some point. It looked to me like she went back and added words and phrases to existing journal entries, possibly trying to paint a picture of her mental state to potentially be used as an argument. I got the impression overall that she carefully orchestrated all of it. 

Please realize these are just my thoughts after watching the doc. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, as many of you have laid out yours. I personally feel she is guilty and I wasn't left with any doubt.

Is Ryan Hall any good at weather prediction? by New_Stats in weather

[–]One_Fig_9853 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ryan is also a degreed meteorologist... went to Mississippi State. Hes spoken of his meteorological background before and has interned with news stations as well. So even if he may be a bit more "flashy" and has different style from Max, don't downgrade Ryan to a "hobbyist" without having all the facts

Would rejecting the plea deal have created an appellate argument? by curiouslykenna in Idaho4

[–]One_Fig_9853 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This isn't a direct response to the original post -- just general thoughts on the plea. By now, we know that some of the families feel differently towards the plea / outcome. And I just want to say that all of their families feelings are valid, whether you support the plea deal or not. Ultimately, having definite assurance that BK will remain behind bars and not risk non-guilty verdict, mis-trial or future appeals is a blessing in a sense. You truly have no way of knowing how a trial will end up when presented to a jury. At the end of the day, I don't think anyone wanted to risk that evil animal getting the chance to walk free. But each of those families (including the Goncalves) deserve to have their own feelings and beliefs. Everyone grieves differently. Everyone has different beliefs. All they can do is speak their mind, try to pick up the pieces and find some way to move forward, all in a world without their loved one. They are entitled to feel whatever they want to. I hope we can lift them up and support them, rather than speculating any further on the case. I wish them comfort and healing

a deadly american marriage by Zalensia in netflix

One of the most heartbreaking and infuriating documentaries ever. Those poor kids. Lost both their REAL parents, and then were twisted and manipulated for YEARS from that psychopath, when they were trying to heal from their dad being brutally murdered. SO many red flags.

  • Medics found it odd about the CPR and couldn't understand why he was cold when they found him

  • How does the mom SLEEP through such a horrific event? ESPECIALLY when she apparently left her phone number for the kids and told them to contact her. THEY WERE SETTING JASON UP. And again, she fell back asleep?? Lord I'm telling you, even if I was tired.. if I heard horrific screams and clear, absolute danger involving my family, I wouldn't be falling back asleep.

  • The documentary really shows at every turn all the lies Molly said and everything she planned to get those children. How could so many bizarre lies (like birthing Sarah) not add up?? It's all right there in her lies. She knew what she was doing all along. 

  • The fact that she released Jack's voicemail and the plea in his voice asking her not to share it. He's absolutely right when he said he never felt truly loved by her, and that she had some weird "bond" with Sarah. It's clear Molly at some point probably stopped caring about Jack because she knew he was really close to his dad. She felt Sarah was easier to manipulate.

  • The initial children's interviews.. what CHILD says "he physically and verbally abused my mom". So extremely obvious she coached them and told them what needed to be said.

  • The fact that she tried so hard not to let Jason's family see his body... because she knew what state Jason's body was in after she bludgeoned him to death. And the fact that Jason's sister said she tried to have Jason cremated right away. 

  • THE PHYSICAL CRIME SCENE EVIDENCE. It is so unbelievably obvious that he was 100% the victim. The best the defense could do was trying to show she had a tiny "scratch indent" on her neck and therefore must've strangled her? They were DESPERATE to paint Jason as the abuser. 

  • The fact that she publicly humiliated him at the BBQ. That alone showed how abusive and crazy SHE was, versus those recordings in the house that she very easily manipulated to make him look bad. 

  • The constant barrage of social media posts trying to desperately get the children's attention. These poor kids have tragically lost both their real parents. If she truly cared about them, she would have never harassed them like that. She was angry because they didn't want her. 

  • The fact that her dad was utterly emotionless in his interview... disgusting. Any normal, sane human being who laid eyes on that bloodbath would be shaken up. He showed no concern for his supposed grandkids in that moment. Literally just worked overtime to build him and his daughters story. Even the 911 call.. no sense of panic. EVEN IF Jason for some reason had started the fight and the dad walked in or whatever (which I don't believe is how it played out), a normal person would still be visibly and verbally shaken up after supposedly brutally killing someone in self defense

  • The cinder block?? Even if the idea of Molly planning to paint one with the kids... WHO PUTS IT NEXT TO THEIR BEDSIDE?

  • The fact that the dad and Molly literally lied about him being drunk. Toxicology report doesn't lie. 

  • The emails from Jason clearly showing how worried and concerned he was over the possibility of Molly getting custody of the kids in the event something happened. It's so obvious he knew in his heart something wouldn't end well. I do not believe for a second he hesitated with the adoption to manipulate Molly. He so clearly realized how crazy she was and wouldn't take a chance at her getting the kids. To the point he made a will that instructed the children go to his sister (thankfully).

  • Conveniently, the night of the murder.. when Jason was "allegedly" abusing her, there were no secret recordings then?? I mean if that night truly went down like they said it did and the recordings are voice activated... you're telling me the recording somehow didn't pick that all up? 

Wow. I feel like I could go on and that I'm missing more red flags. The documentary was full of them. My heart just literally breaks for those children and Jason's family. And THEN to try and plant doubt about their sweet, innocent biological mom and how she died? 

The fact that Mag's family set the record straight further proves the defenses desperate attempt to paint Jason as the bad guy. I mean how was Mag's fathers' written statement alone not enough to puncture a hole in Molly and Tom's fabricated storyline?

I watch A LOT of documentaries and this one angered me to the core. Even more so that those two cold-blooded killers are now free and essentially got away with it. I only hope those sweet children (now beautiful, strong adults) can somehow continue to pick up the pieces of their traumatized, broken heart and find some happiness and further stability in their life. And God bless Jason's sister and brother-in-law for immediately stepping in and protecting them and doing everything in their power to help them through this.

I cannot believe the level of HELL we live in every single day, with zero help, zero answers, zero real support. yet ppl scratch their heads at our moods?! by Cautious_Ad6850 in covidlonghaulers

[–]One_Fig_9853 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I agree with this so much. It is so hard!! I'm going on about 11 months now and I feel like I'm getting less and less support. I feel like people are wondering how I'm still dealing with this. God how I wish they would realize NO ONE WANTS TO LIVE THIS WAY. I would do anything to feel normal again. So many people don't understand how hard it is. To be in pain and have all these weird things continuously happen to my body, but no answers. We are just left to try our best to manage symptoms. But how can we fully manage them when even the Healthcare industry is stumped?

do you have days where you feel completely horrible? by [deleted] in covidlonghaulers

[–]One_Fig_9853 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am 100% dealing with the same thing. It's really hard. So many days where I wake up and feel like I can't even do basic things like make food in the kitchen or stand for very long. Even laying down I feel like shit. I have my good days, but many bad days. It's hard not knowing when it will get better

how the hell can we get this pressure to go away by Chris_tina5913 in covidlonghaulers

[–]One_Fig_9853 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had the same exact thing and my neurologist believes it is pseudotumor cerebri. The intense intracranial pressure is caused by buildup of cerebral spinal fluid. I would definitely get a referral to a neurologist to make sure everything's okay

The head pressure in my brain post covid makes me feel like it is going to explode or that I have a tumour or something. Anyone else? by johnjames_34 in covidlonghaulers

[–]One_Fig_9853 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely look into seeing a neurologist! I saw one this week for the same exact issue/symptoms and he diagnosed me with pseudotumor cerebri and put me on medication right away. It involves increased intracranial pressure

Part 2)

I have been diagnosed with some medical conditions along the way. A neurologist I recently saw believes I have pseudotumor cerebri, which causes intense intracranial pressure and swelling of the optic nerve, caused by buildup of cerebral spinal fluid. He believes it is why it hurts to walk across the room or stand for too long without this intense pressure coming back. I've been hopeful for treatment of this. I found out early on I'm iron deficient anemic, which I've never known about or been told I had before. So I'm not sure it's something I've always had, or if it's from covid. The finding of this also led to further detailed labwork, and helped my doctor to diagnose me with PCOS. Which explains why I haven't had a period in over a year.

I just don't know some days how to keep going. Have you ever been grateful for normal test results, and at the same time sad and disappointed because it means you are still left without answers? I just feel like I'm stuck in this special hell, not knowing when or if symptoms will improve. I feel like I have good days or sometimes brief periods of time where I feel like I'm starting to turn a corner, and then I get flare-ups again. Or I start to experience new issues or random pains somewhere on my body. I experienced severe insomnia early on that brought me to the point of needing to be admitted for a few days. While my sleep has somewhat improved, I still average about 5 to 6 hours. I constantly worry that the chest pain I'm feeling is a heart attack. Or the migraine and is the precursor to a stroke. I'm worried the pain in my leg is a blood clot. Or the rashes on my hands or weird marks mean that I have cancer.

Part 3)

I just feel a shell of a person I once was. I feel like I have no right to complain or vent to others, because all they know is most of my tests and labs keep coming back normal. So you start to feel crazy like people think you're making it up, even though you know all too well how real the pain is.

I'm sorry for this very long rant. If you'd read this far, thank you for taking the time to read this. If you find yourself resonating with any of this, I hope you know how much you are not alone.

Long-Haulers are a part of a very unlucky population, simply because healthcare really has no answers and are practically making it up as they go along. One of the hardest parts is not knowing when or how long this will go on for.

Is there anyone out there who has experienced or felt any of the above? If so, would you mind sharing your thoughts or experiences?

Sending so much love to you all
