Is Britain's Worst Child Killer Innocent? Shocking New Evidence Emerges!
by Alex Ingram in JusticeOn February 4, 2025, a press conference convened by Lucy Letby's barrister presented findings from an international panel of experts who challenge Letby's convictions for murdering seven babies and attempting to murder seven others at the Countess of Chester Hospital. The panel, led by Dr. Shoo Lee, a leading neonatologist, found no medical evidence to support the prosecution's claims of deliberate harm. Instead, they attributed the deaths and injuries to natural causes and inadequate medical care, citing staff shortages and sub-optimal care within the hospital's neonatal unit. Their findings directly contradict the prosecution's central allegation that Letby injected air into the babies' veins, with Dr. Lee stating that his research, misinterpreted by the prosecution, was used incorrectly. The panel's report, along with separate reports from other experts, casts doubt on the prosecution's evidence and raises concerns about the impartiality of key prosecution witnesses, particularly Dr. Dewi Evans, whose expert testimony faced severe criticism from a senior Court of Appeal judge. The case highlights significant flaws in the initial investigations, including delayed reporting of concerns by hospital staff and a lack of forensic evidence against Letby. While the Court of Appeal upheld the convictions, the panel's findings and the subsequent submission to the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) raise serious questions about the safety of Letby's convictions and the possibility of a miscarriage of justice. The public inquiry, while acknowledging the concerns, has refused to review the convictions. The article concludes with Dr. Lee's statement that the convictions are unsafe and should be overturned, emphasizing the paramount importance of fair justice, even amidst the distress experienced by the families of the victims.
