Is Lucy Letby innocent? I’m a miscarriage of justice investigator – and here’s what I think...
The IndependentA telling phrase rang out from the latest trial of Lucy Letby. They acquitted her on two counts of attempted murder and were unable to agree verdicts on six further counts of attempted murder, including the case of Baby K. Footage from Cheshire Constabulary taken during Letby’s arrest in 2018 For her crimes, Letby was sentenced to 14 whole life orders. The trial judge, Mr Justice Goss, told her she had acted “in a way that was completely contrary to the normal human instincts of nurturing and caring for babies and in gross breach of the trust that all citizens place in those who work in the medical and caring professions.” Letby, Goss said, claimed that she never did anything that was meant to hurt a baby and only ever did her best to care for them. A 2023 court drawing of Letby listening to the verdicts being read at Manchester Crown Court However, in one podcast serial, We Need To Talk About Lucy Letby, a statistician Peter Elston and Michael McConville, a retired paediatrician, tore into the case, with detailed arguments about the inadequacies of the medical evidence and concerns about the administration of the hospital and its neonatal unit, especially the inadequate levels of staff and training. Letby can seek leave to appeal the latest attempted murder conviction – we won’t know unless or until the case is listed for hearing.
