An unusual amount of infant deaths on a neonatal unit at a Chester hospital sparked an investigation that led to one common factor, Lucy Letby. The 33-year-old registered nurse was on shift every time a newborn died or became severely injured. The serial killer went on trial in Crown court, only to be found guilty of murdering seven babies and attempting to end the lives of six others. The Law&Crime Network's Angenette Levy and Richard Scorer, Principal Lawyer at Slater and Gordon Lawyers, break down the disturbing case of Lucy Letby, one of the most prolific serial killers of children to this day.LAW&CRIME SIDEBAR PRODUCTION:YouTube Management - Bobby SzokePodcasting - Sam GoldbergWriting & Video Editing - Michael DeiningerGuest Booking - Alyssa Fisher & Diane KayeSocial Media Management - Vanessa Bein & Kiera BronsonSUBSCRIBE TO OUR OTHER PODCASTS:Court JunkieThey Walk Among AmericaDevil In The DormThe Disturbing TruthSpeaking FreelyLAW&CRIME NETWORK SOCIAL MEDIA:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lawandcrime/Twitter: https://twitter.com/LawCrimeNetworkFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/lawandcrimeTwitch: https://www.twitch.tv/lawandcrimenetworkTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lawandcrimeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
