Sir David Davis Calls for Letby Retrial

Sir David Davis, a Conservative MP, has called for a retrial for Lucy Letby, who was convicted of murdering seven infants and attempting to murder others at a neonatal unit. He argues that the case against her lacked 'hard evidence' and was built on flawed statistical interpretations, emphasizing that no one directly witnessed her committing the crimes. Concerns about the trial's validity have grown, with Davis citing analyses from medical and legal experts that challenge the prosecution's narrative. He noted that much of the critical evidence was available but not presented during the initial trial, raising questions about the fairness of the judicial process. Additionally, he highlighted potential medical errors made by the doctors involved in the cases, which may have contributed to the infants' deaths. The Court of Appeal has so far denied Letby permission to appeal her convictions, which have sparked significant media scrutiny and public debate.
