Lucy Letby Appeals Conviction Amid Evidence Scrutiny

News summary

Lucy Letby, a former nurse convicted of murdering seven infants and attempting to murder seven others, is appealing one of her convictions amid growing scrutiny of the evidence used against her. Letby's lawyer argues that her retrial was unfair due to widespread media hostility, and some experts have questioned the validity of the statistical and medical evidence presented. Conservative MP David Davis has called for a retrial, suggesting alternative explanations for the deaths such as hospital mismanagement or a superbug. Davis claims he is '90-odd percent certain' of Letby's innocence after reviewing the evidence for several months. While a public inquiry into the case continues, the victims' families express distress over ongoing debates about Letby's culpability. Letby has consistently maintained her innocence, and her appeal against one conviction is currently under court consideration.
