Lawyers who say British nurse was wrongly convicted of killing babies ask to halt hospital inquiry

Hindustan Times  

LONDON — Lawyers for convicted baby killer Lucy Letby and former executives at the hospital where she worked have asked to halt an inquiry into the deaths after a panel of medical experts found no evidence of a crime, a judge said Monday. Lawyers who say British nurse was wrongly convicted of killing babies ask to halt hospital inquiry Justice Kathryn Thirlwall announced the requests as she prepared to hear closing statements in the inquiry that began in September seeking accountability for staff and management for the harm to babies at Countess of Chester Hospital in northwest England. Former executives at the hospital — chief executive Tony Chambers, medical director Ian Harvey, director of nursing Alison Kelly and human resources director Sue Hodkinson — asked for the public inquiry to be halted after the medical panel released its findings. The Crown Prosecution Service has said two juries convicted Letby and three appellate judges had rejected her arguments that the prosecution expert evidence was flawed.
