Lucy Letby Seeks Review of Convictions

Lucy Letby's legal team is seeking an immediate review of her convictions after lead prosecution expert Dr. Dewi Evans changed his mind regarding the cause of death of three babies, known as Baby C, Baby I, and Baby P. Letby, a former neonatal nurse, is serving 15 whole-life terms for murdering seven infants and attempting to kill seven others at the Countess of Chester Hospital. Her barrister, Mark McDonald, argued that Dr. Evans's testimony was central to the prosecution case and questioned its reliability, which the defense previously contested at trial and in the Court of Appeal. The shift in Dr. Evans's opinion has prompted concerns about the evidence presented in court, with over 50 experts reportedly willing to support the challenge against her convictions. The case has garnered significant public attention, including skepticism from MPs and discussions around the fairness of the trial, despite backlash from victims' families. A public inquiry is ongoing regarding Letby's actions at the hospital, with police continuing investigations into additional incidents during her career.
