Lucy Letby's lawyer says new evidence is grounds for her convictions to be re-examined

ABC  

WARNING: Readers might find the details in this story distressing. A lawyer for convicted British killer nurse Lucy Letby says he will ask for her convictions to be re-examined after the prosecution's leading expert changed his opinion on how three babies died. The Crown Prosecution Service defended the verdicts, saying two juries and three appeal court judges had already "reviewed a multitude of different strands of evidence against Lucy Letby". A CPS spokesperson said in a statement the Court of Appeal dismissed Letby's leave to appeal on all grounds in May — "rejecting her argument that expert prosecution evidence was flawed". Lucy Letby was convicted of murdering seven babies, but some people still believe she is innocent Photo shows Woman in purple being handcuffed The judge chairing the inquiry said anyone doubting the former nurse's guilt is causing her victims' families "enormous additional distress".
