Lucy Letby lawyer submits fresh evidence to CCRC, disputing convictions

Lawyers for Lucy Letby, a nurse convicted of murdering seven infants, are presenting 'fresh' evidence to the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) that they claim undermines her convictions. This evidence includes an 86-page report from seven medical experts challenging the reliability of insulin tests used as key evidence in her trial, asserting that jurors were misled in critical areas regarding the testing procedures. Additionally, a separate report by a 14-member international panel of specialists contends that natural causes and poor medical care were the real reasons for the infants' deaths. However, families of the victims have dismissed these findings as flawed and a rehash of defense arguments heard during the trial. Letby, who maintains her innocence, is currently serving 15 whole-life orders and has been denied permission to appeal her convictions. The CCRC is reviewing the new evidence but has not provided a timeline for its decision.
