I think the main problem is
Lawyers representing Ms Leighton said on Friday the case against her was "weak" at a bail application made on her behalf in August.
They said Mr Justice Henriques had told the court the evidence against Ms Leighton amounted to her fingerprints being on a saline bag, which had been damaged by a needle.
Although the plea for her to be given bail was rejected at that hearing, her lawyers said the judge accepted "many people" had access to the saline bags and the fluid and that Miss Leighton had every reason to be touching the items in her role as sister.
That's all they had
