A court has heard that a nurse who is accused of killing babies under her care sent a sympathy card to the grieving parents of a baby girl who it is alleged that she took four attempts to kill. Lucy Letby, 32, allegedly killed seven babies while working in a neo-natal unit at the Countess of Chester Hospital between June 2015 and 2016.
The nurse is also accused of attempting to kill 10 other babies over the same period. Letby denies all charges.

The fellow nurse went in and saw Child I "appeared to be at the point of death and was not breathing".
Mr Johnson said the baby recovered but "ironically" Letby then became Child I's designated nurse. Child I

Gene Maddaus Senior Media Writer Kevin Spacey and Anthony Rapp are set to square off in a federal courtroom on Thursday, in the first of four #MeToo trials to get underway this month in New York and Los Angeles.

Coming five years after the #MeToo movement began, the trials will involve similar themes — power imbalances in the entertainment industry, the dynamics of sexual assault, the reliability of memories, and the nature of due process.
