Lucy Letby, a former neonatal nurse convicted of murdering seven babies and attempting to kill seven others, is planning a fresh appeal with a new legal team. Her barrister, Mark McDonald, intends to apply to the Criminal Cases Review Commission to have her case sent back to the Court of Appeal, arguing that there is a strong case for her innocence. Letby is currently serving 15 whole-life orders, making her one of the few women in UK history to receive such a sentence. A public inquiry into the Countess of Chester Hospital and the handling of her case is set to begin on September 10 in Liverpool. Concerns have been raised by neonatal experts regarding the statistical evidence presented during her trial, suggesting it may not have been conducted appropriately. Letby's previous appeal was rejected in May, but her new legal strategy signifies ongoing challenges to her convictions.
