Why the Lucy Letby conspiracy theorists are wrong: The New Yorker article that stoked toxic theories contains errors and cherry-picks evidence, writes LIZ HULL - who watched every hour of her trial

Daily Mail  

The corridors of Manchester Crown Court are a pretty unremarkable place. However, on the morning of June 10 this year — the first day of Lucy Letby's retrial — the corridor outside court seven was anything but. They claim Letby is a victim of a miscarriage of justice Britain's most prolific child killer Letby was last year convicted of murdering and harming 13 babies Incredibly, I discovered that several are retired or ex-NHS nurses — including one who worked at the same hospital as Letby for 40 years before retiring. A case like Letby's, where much of the evidence was circumstantial — remember nobody saw her injecting the babies — was always going to be difficult to prove. Of them, only Janet Cox, 58, the polite and bespectacled former nursery nurse who worked at the neo-natal unit at the Countess of Chester, and who attended both trials almost every day, knows Letby personally.
