Experts Claim There is ‘No Evidence’ that Convicted Nurse Lucy Letby Murdered Babies
During a press conference, it was revealed that there were medical reasons for the deaths and collapses of premature babies, pointing out a series of alleged hospital shortcomings.
Former minister Sir David Davis criticized the child murder convictions of neo-natal nurse Lucy Letby as “one of the major injustices of modern times” while her legal team seeks a retrial.
Letby, currently serving 15 whole-life orders, was convicted of murdering seven infants and attempting to murder seven others between June 2015 and June 2016 in Manchester.
A panel of experts at a press conference in London reiterated that they believe that there was a miscarriage of justice and that there are medical explanations for the deaths of the babies.
Dr. Shoo Lee presented a report by 14 medical experts that refutes the murder claims and attributes the deaths to either natural causes or poor medical care.
Lee highlighted instances where medical negligence led to preventable deaths and injuries among the babies.
‘Just Bad Medical Care’
According to Lee, the deaths were not murders, but rather resulted from natural causes or substandard medical care.
Lee also criticized the care provided at Countess of Chester Hospital and raised concerns about misinterpretations of medical evidence at Letby’s trial.
The press conference aimed to bring comfort to the families affected by the tragic events and shed light on the truth of what transpired.
Failed Bids to Appeal
Letby’s attempts to challenge her convictions in court have been unsuccessful, with fresh evidence being rejected, leaving her with the ongoing possibility of a retrial.
A public inquiry is ongoing into Letby’s actions and the circumstances surrounding the case, aiming to provide closure for the affected families and ensure justice is served.
The Criminal Cases Review Commission is currently reviewing Letby’s case to assess the potential for a miscarriage of justice and determine the next steps in the legal process.
