Letby lost two bids last year to challenge her convictions at the Court of Appeal.
McDonald said: “The fresh evidence totally undermines the prosecution case at trial.
“This is the largest international review of neonatal medicine ever undertaken, the results of which show Letby’s convictions are no longer safe.”
Detective Superintendent Paul Hughes insisted Letby’s case was “rigorously and fairly tested” by two juries after a “painstaking” six-year police investigation.
**Here,** ***The i Paper*** **takes a look at the new claims for Letby’s innocence.**
# What has the panel concluded?
The fresh evidence has been presented to the CCRC, which investigates potential miscarriages of justice.
A 14-strong panel of experts concluded that no criminal offences had been committed and instead provided alternative causes of death.
Poor medical care and natural causes were the reasons for babies collapsing at the hospital’s neonatal unit, the panel found.
A separate report from seven medics claims the results of insulin tests on two infants Letby was convicted of poisoning were unreliable.
Their report summary concluded the jury was misled in several “important areas”, including medical and evidential facts, and that key information on the insulin testing procedure was not submitted.
Last month, lawyers for the families of Letby’s victims branded the panel’s findings as “full of analytical holes” and “a rehash” of the defence case.
The press should be banned from commenting on her. Disgusting.
Upcoming movie title: Letby’s defence lawyer and the 17 missing claims.
I find it really distasteful the opining of the press and hobbyist ‘experts’ on this case. There seems to be a total disconnect between the ‘theories’ and the fact that dozens of babies actually died. I can’t help but get the feeling that it’s turned into a bit of an intellectual circle-jerk devoid of any sympathy or empathy for the real story.
Nothing there is substantial enough to overturn her convictions.
Prove me wrong..
Wow, what a miraculously convenient set of coincidences. Doesn’t seem to explain why and how the deaths correlated exactly with letby’s presence/absence though. And some of these conclusions are worryingly vague: “sepsis or a heart condition” says to me “we have already decided what we think and will set out to prove that”.
I’m curious how this panel seems to have consistently found “no evidence of air embolism” when the trial clearly did. I would find it deeply disturbing if a trial, assisted by experts in the field, would have mistaken the death of multiple babies at a neonatal unit as air embolism when there’s apparently “no evidence” of it.
The other thing I cannot fathom is why, if there was such a medical opinion base in Letby’s favour, did none of them speak up at her trial? Surely with all this apparently convincing evidence in her favour this should have been easy to prove? So why didn’t they? Why are we relitigating this in the media?
That doesn’t mean that the hospital in question wasn’t also at fault. It’s right to enquire into the practices and working at that hospital regardless of Letby’s innocence or guilt.
Please someone explain how the artificial insulin was in two of the babies?
Obviously this didn’t occur on its own.
She’s not getting released anytime soon.
This is like the ultimate national white knighting.
Guys she’s in prison. Keep it in your pants.
So let’s sat Letby is found innocent and to have been thrown under the bus by her trust or medical team, do you reckon anyone would get punished anywhere near as badly.
There’s an itv drama director rubbing his hands right now
Help me out here, to overturn her conviction you have to individually find her not guilty of murdering each baby, right?
