One additional thing of note is that it was the police and their expert witness that decided which deaths were “suspicious” vs “non suspicious”.

Without the categorisation of deaths being suspicious/non suspicious, Letby was on shift for 40% of the deaths (approximately what you would expect, she worked 35% of the week).

It was the police with the expert witness that then selected which deaths were suspicious, and they did this non-blind (ie the expert looked at the case notes, could see if Letby was on shift, and then made an evaluation on if it was suspicious or not).

After this categorisation, Letby was present at 100% of the suspicious deaths (and none of the non-suspicious deaths)
