New Email Undermines Lucy Letby Conviction, Raises Doubts on Key Witness

The case against Lucy Letby, a nurse convicted of murdering seven infants, faces renewed scrutiny following the emergence of a previously undisclosed email from Dr. Ravi Jayaram, the sole medical witness in her trials. In the email dated May 4, 2017, Jayaram indicates that Letby had actually called him for help regarding Baby K's deteriorating condition, contradicting his later courtroom assertions that he found her 'virtually red-handed' and did not raise the alarm. This new evidence, which was not disclosed to Letby’s defense team until after her conviction, raises questions about Jayaram's consistency and the integrity of the prosecution's case. The email also suggests that Baby K's death could be attributed to complications from extreme prematurity rather than Letby's alleged actions. Letby's defense is now leveraging this information in an effort to challenge her convictions, arguing that the evidence points to natural causes of the infants' deaths rather than deliberate harm. This ongoing legal battle is compounded by a comprehensive report from medical experts asserting that the infants did not die due to intentional actions by Letby.
