Experts Challenge Lucy Letby's Conviction for Newborn Murders

A panel of 14 medical experts has raised significant doubts about the evidence that led to the conviction of British nurse Lucy Letby for murdering seven newborns. Dr. Shoo Lee, the panel's lead, stated that their findings indicate the infants either died from natural causes or medical errors, not from Letby's alleged actions. Letby, currently serving multiple life sentences, maintains her innocence and her defense team has applied to the Criminal Cases Review Commission to investigate potential miscarriages of justice. The panel's conclusions challenge the prosecution's key expert witness, Dr. Dewi Evans, who had claimed Letby acted with precision in killing the infants. Mark McDonald, Letby's lawyer, argued that the new evidence undermines the original case against her, and there are ongoing inquiries into the hospital's handling of the situation. This development has prompted renewed discussions on the integrity of the trial and the evidence presented.
