Given the lengthy trial of Lucy Letby and the number of crimes she was accused of committing, can we really take seriously the claims, even from experts in the field, that there is simply no evidence Lucy committed any crimes?

I’m not sure this is an appropriate subject for NAS. Perhaps it’s the wording, but it comes across as debating whether Lucy Letby is innocent or guilty. Given that we’re talking about babies who died, I personally don’t think this is something that should be debated or speculated about here. Just my opinion

Agree. Far too many threads on here now have very little connection to autism or even a remote link to neurodivergence. I'm not against political or topical discussion, I mean, Reform have basically said they hate us and want to take our PIP payments, but this is a thread that realistically has no constructive reason to be here. You can't argue it's a hobby like botany or birdwatching and you can't argue it's something that directly affects the neurodivergent. Neonatal deaths are important yes but most people with autism don't want biological kids anyway.
I agree its an upsetting subject and the events were appalling regardless of Letby's guilt or innocence, but if we don't talk about controvercies, especially potential miscarriages of justice, then we're all complicit in injustice, just be being silent.
What do you feel are appropriate subjects for NAS members to talk about?
I agree. It is a very sensitive topic.
