Richie is joined by Giovanni Di Stefano. Giovanni is notorious, controversial but also brilliant. He is known internationally as The Devil's Advocate. One way or another, he has represented or advised some of the most infamous and high profile defendants in history. He came on today's show to discuss why he believes that Lucy Letby - the nurse convicted of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder six more - should be released immediately. Giovanni doesn't know whether Letby is innocent or guilty, but he tells Richie why he is convinced her conviction is unsafe. In a fascinating conversation, the Devil's Advocate discusses his involvement in the cases of Jeremy Bamber and Harold Shipman. https://x.com/DEVILSADVOKAT

A major new study challenges key evidence used to convict Lucy Letby, the former nurse serving 15 whole-life sentences for the murder and attempted murder of infants at the Countess of Chester Hospital. The report, authored by international experts, states that there is "no scientific justification whatsoever" for the claim that Letby deliberately poisoned babies with insulin and highlights a "very strong level of reasonable doubt" about her convictions. Professor Geoff Chase, a world-leading expert on insulin's effects on pre-term babies, said it was "very unlikely" that lethal doses were administered, contradicting the prosecution's case. The trial hinged on blood test results showing low blood sugar, high insulin, and low C-peptide levels. However, a detailed review of the babies' medical records by experts in neonatology and bioengineering found that the data was "inconsistent" with insulin poisoning. The Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) is now formally reviewing the case after a panel of 14 experts found no evidence of murder or deliberate harm. Senior Conservative MP (member of parliament) Sir David Davis has called the case "one of the major injustices of modern times." During Letby's trial, prosecutor Nick Johnson KC (kings court) told jurors the nurse "undoubtedly" poisoned two infants eight months apart by adding synthetic insulin to their feeding bags. However, the 100-page study, authored by Chase and chemical engineering expert Helen Shannon, points out that low blood sugar is "not uncommon" in premature infants. The babies also lacked symptoms typically associated with insulin poisoning, such as seizures or heart arrhythmia. The report, citing over 250 peer-reviewed papers, criticizes the reliability of the immunoassay test used to detect insulin. Shannon stated, "There is no scientific justification whatsoever for the prosecution's claim that there was 'no doubt that these were poisonings.'" She argued that a more forensic test should have been used. The insulin charges were crucial to Letby's conviction, as they were considered the strongest evidence of deliberate harm. Letby's defense lawyer, Benjamin Myers KC, told jurors he could not dispute the test results because the original blood samples had been disposed of. A CPS spokesperson defended the verdicts, stating, "Two juries and three appeal court judges have reviewed a multitude of different strands of evidence against Lucy Letby." The Court of Appeal also rejected her request for an appeal in May 2024. With the CCRC now reviewing the case, the new expert findings raise serious concerns about the reliability of the medical evidence presented at trial. #LucyLetby #JusticeForLucyLetby #LegalReform #WrongfulConviction #MedicalEvidence #InsulinPoisoning #CriminalJustice Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

An international panel of medical experts have concluded British serial killer Lucy Letby did not kill any babies. The now 35 year old was convicted of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder seven others while working at the Countess of Chester Hospital neonatal unit between 2015 and 2016. Letby is currently serving 15 whole life sentences. Her legal team have applied for her case to be investigated as a potential miscarriage of justice. United Kingdom correspondent Adam Hollingworth spoke to Lisa Owen.
High insulin levels in babies - used to convict UK nurse Lucy Letby - could have occurred naturally. A jury found the 35-year-old guilty of the murder or attempted murder of 14 babies. Some experts have suggested in a report that the deaths could be from errors or natural causes. Canterbury University professor, Geoff Chase, assisted in the report. He says Letby was found guilty of adding insulin to two babies' intravenous food - and their levels were unexpected, but not impossible. He also explained their levels were unexpected, but not impossible - and in pre-term newborns, most to all bets are off. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

E103 The Lucy Letby Case and the role of 'expert witnesses'Mark Tottenham BL and Peter Leonard BL discuss some complex legal issues around this difficult case that has made international headlines.The Lucy Letby legal case involved a neonatal nurse convicted of the murder of seven infants and the attempted murder of six others at a UK hospital between 2015 and 2016. The case raised significant issues about patient safety, workplace accountability, and the failure of hospital management to act on early warnings from medical staff. Concerns were reportedly dismissed or ignored, allowing Letby to continue working. The trial highlighted the need for stronger systems to address whistleblower concerns and improve oversight in healthcare settings, as well as the psychological and procedural challenges in prosecuting complex cases of this nature.Mark recommends the book, 'Unmasking Lucy Letby: The Untold Story of the Killer Nurse by Judith Moritz, Jonathan CoffeyWith thanks to The Expert Witness Site - The Independent Source of Expert Witnesses https://expertwitnesssite.com Hosted on Acast.

Lucy Letby's lawyers claimed this week that a key prosecution expert has changed his opinion on how three of the babies died. The expert - Dr. Dewi Evans - has denied the claim. Letby's lawyers say they can prove otherwise. To discuss this and also claims that one of the victims - known as Baby O - may have been accidentally killed by a doctor, Richie is joined by Professor Richard Gill. He's an esteemed mathematician and statistician based in The Netherlands. Richard was influential in the exoneration of Lucia de Berk, a Dutch nurse who was wrongfully convicted of murdering babies back in 2003.

In this episode Dr Dewi Evans gives his last interview on his conviction that Lucy Letby is a murderer, his view that critics, especially statisticians, are wrong and are often senior males who see Letby as a damsel in distress. We will be dealing with the issues raised by Dr Evans in the next episode. John Sweeney and Ed Abel Smith also discover that the one of the four consultants who accused Lucy Letby led, by improper care, to the death of a baby. And that is something the jurors who convicted Lucy Letby never knew.

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall. * Inniu an séú lá is fiche de mhí Dheireadh Fómhair. Is mise Siubhán Nic Amhlaoibh. Dúirt MLA de chuid Pháirtí na Comhghuaillíochta, Kellie Armstrong, gur léir gur éadóchas ar son Fheidhmeannacht Tithíochta Thuaisceart Éireann a bhí ann nuair a cuireadh daoine i gcochall taobh amuigh de Bhéal Feirste. Tá sé deimhnithe ag Feidhmeannacht Tithíochta Thuaisceart Éireann go n-úsáidfear ceithre chochall ag saoráid óstáin in aice le Béal Feirste “ó am go chéile agus mar rogha dheireanach”. Dúirt ionadaí na Feidhmeannachta Tithíochta go bhfuil na cochaill "te agus compordach." Dúirt MLA Alliance Kellie Armstrong le BBC News NI nach bhfuil siad oiriúnach nó inghlactha. "Tá an geimhreadh ag bualadh linn. An féidir leis an fheidhmeannas Tithíochta a bheith cinnte go mbeidh na cochaill seo in ann déileáil leis an aimsir athraitheach, go mbeidh siad in ann déileáil le stoirmeacha?" Dúirt urlabhraí ón Fheidhmeannacht Tithíochta nach n-úsáidtear na cochaill ach sa ghearrthéarma agus go bhfuil siad de dhíth mar gheall ar éileamh gan fasach ar thithíocht shóisialta. Mhéadaigh líon na ndaoine a cuireadh i lóistín sealadach ó 4,527 in 2020 go 16,943 in 2023, a dúirt an t-urlabhraí. Úsáidtear na cochaill seo chun lóistín a thabhairt do “dhaoine singile nó lánúineacha atá gan dídean”. Bhí freagraí á lorg i dTeach Laighean le linn na seachtaine faoin “leithcheal gníomhach” a deirtear atá á dhéanamh ar dhaltaí na sraithe sóisearaí i scoileanna Gaeltachta agus lán-Ghaeilge. Triúr Teachtaí Dála a cheistigh an tAire Oideachais, Norma Foley, an tseachtain seo faoin chóras marcála atá in úsáid do chúrsa Gaeilge T1 na Sraithe Sóisearaí. Dúirt duine de na Teachtaí Dála sin, Darren O'Rourke ó Shinn Féin, go bhfuil “imní mhór” i measc lucht scoileanna Gaeltachta agus lán-Ghaeilge faoin chur chuige marcála don chúrsa. Is é an cúrsa T1 don Teastas Sóisearach an cúrsa nua a tugadh isteach in 2017 do dhaltaí i scoileanna ina mbíonn an teagasc trí mheán na Gaeilge. Déanann daltaí scoileanna Béarla cúrsa T2, cúrsa nach bhfuil an dúshlán céanna ag baint leis. Ach tá cuid mhaith de mhúinteoirí agus de dhaltaí sna scoileanna míshásta leis an tslí a bhfuil an cúrsa T1 á marcáil. Ní fhaigheann ach líon beag daltaí na marcanna is airde sa scrúdú T1 i gcomparáid leis an líon mór daltaí i scoileanna Gaeltachta agus lán-Ghaeilge a bhíodh ag fáil na marcanna is airde nuair a bhí aon scrúdú comónta amháin ann. Dúirt príomhoide Gaelcholáiste amháin le Tuairisc gurb amhlaidh gur “díspreagadh” do dhaltaí a bhfuil Gaeilge líofa acu atá sa chúrsa T1, atá “níos deacra” ná cúrsa Gaeilge na hArdteiste. Bhí sé i gceist cúrsa T1 agus T2 a thabhairt isteach don Ardteist ach cuireadh stop leis an phróiseas sin dhá bhliain ó shin.Tá teipthe ar an iaraltra agus dúnmharfóir ciontaithe Lucy Letby chun achomharc a dhéanamh in aghaidh a ciontaithe as iarracht cailín óg a dhúnmharú. D'áitigh dlíodóirí Letby i gCúirt Achomhairc na Breataine gur cheart an cúiseamh iarrachta dúnmharaithe a chur ar sos toisc go ndeachaigh tuairisciú na meán cumarsáide ar a céad triail i bhfeidhm go héagórach ar a cás. Mhaígh siad gur bhain an aird seo ó na meáin chumarsáide le dochar tromchúiseach agus buan, rud a d'fhág go raibh an atriail éagórach. Ach dhíbh triúr breithiúna sinsearacha achomharc Letby i ndiaidh na héisteachta i Londain. Gearradh 14 ordú saoil iomlán ar Letby roimhe seo as dúnmharuithe seachtar leanaí agus as iarracht ar dhúnmharuithe seisear eile, le dhá iarracht ar leanbh amháin, agus gearradh téarma cúig bliana déag uirthi as an ionsaí ar Leanbh K. Seo é an dara hiarracht achomhairc ó Letby a caitheamh amach. * Léirithe ag Conradh na Gaeilge i Londain.

Lucy Letby is the most prolific serial killer of our time. She is convicted of murdering seven babies and trying to harm many others. But there are serious questions about not only whether she is a killer at all, but whether there was ever a crime. In episode one, John Sweeney and Edward Abel Smith discover that all is not as it seems at the Countess of Chester Hospital, the place Letby is accused of carrying out her killing spree. Specifically, there were problems with the plumbing, meaning the neonatal unit where the babies died, was on a regular basis, literally full of shit.
On this episode, Tony Brueski digs into the latest bombshells in the Lucy Letby case, where new evidence suggests a third infant may have been poisoned.

Former nurse Lucy Letby became one of the UK's most notorious child killers after she was convicted in 2023 of harming and murdering babies in her care. The nurse was found guilty by two juries after lengthy trials, but now there's been speculation over whether some evidence in the Letby trial was reliable.

New evidence suggests more babies in the care of killer nurse Lucy Letby were harmed - and in one case poisoned with insulin. Letby was was found guilty of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder seven more, including trying to kill two with insulin at the Countess of Chester Hospital neonatal unit between June 2015 and June 2016. UK correspondent Gavin Grey says one of these babies was found to have suspiciously high levels of insulin after Letby had taken over the infant's care.

On this episode, We dig into the chilling details emerging from the Thirlwall Inquiry into the crimes of Lucy Letby, the neonatal nurse convicted of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder seven others. As the inquiry examines testimonies from hospital staff and management, disturbing patterns emerge—patterns that could have saved lives if they had been acted on sooner. Tony explores how healthcare professionals dismissed red flags, relying on blind trust in a nurse described as “creme de la creme.” He takes a closer look at the troubling failure to escalate concerns, the psychology behind Letby's behavior, and the deep questions raised about accountability in healthcare. How did a nurse like Letby evade suspicion for so long? And what systemic changes are needed to prevent this from ever happening again? Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Na een lange rechtszaak werd de Britse Lucy Letby vorig jaar uitgeroepen tot beruchte kindermoordenaar. Ze werd veroordeeld voor de moord op zeven pasgeboren baby's en kreeg levenslange celstraf. De zaak laat Britten niet los, want het motief is een jaar later nog steeds niet duidelijk: waarom deed Letby dit? Inmiddels wordt er getwijfeld over haar zaak. Want was het bewijs wel zo doorslaggevend? En heeft Lucy Letby dit echt gedaan? Correspondent Fleur Launspach vertelt in podcast de Dag over welk bewijs op tafel ligt en welke twijfel daarover is. Voor de veroordeling is gebruikgemaakt van indirect bewijs. Dat kraakt emeritus hoogleraar statistiek aan de Universiteit Leiden Richard Gill volledig. Volgens hem wordt statistiek verkeerd gebruikt en zit Lucy Letby onterecht vast. Eenzelfde statistische fout die Gill naar boven haalde zorgde er in ons land mede voor dat verpleegkundige Lucia de B. vrij kwam. Dat werd een van de grootste gerechtelijke dwalingen ooit in ons land. Reageren? Mail: dedag@nos.nl Presentatie en montage: Marco Geijtenbeek Redactie: Lieke Loman en IJsbrand Terpstra
In a Reaction special, Peter Hitchens and writer and economist Christopher Snowdon debate the merits for the case brought against and the conviction of serial killer Lucy Letby. Hitchens has repeatedly called for the case to be re-examined, arguing there are grounds Letby could be the victim of an unsafe conviction, while Snowdon has in the past referred to the voices doubting the veracity of Letby's guilt, as ‘a gaggle of armchair detectives, armchair pathologists and armchair barristers.' Over the space of an hour, Snowdon and Hitchens attempt to find some middle ground in a case that has divided and shocked a nation.

New podcast announcement. Welcome to our new podcast series 'Was There Ever A Crime: The Trials of Lucy Letby'. Please help us fund this important journalistic project, go to our Crowdfunder here - https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/lucy-letby-was-there-ever-a-crime Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Lucy Letby is Britain's worst female serial killer in modern times. Or is she? On the day she was first convicted, veteran journalist John Sweeney tweeted: "Lucy Letby may well be the victim of a miscarriage of justice, that the Crown has taken a cluster of accidental and natural deaths and pointed the finger at Letby. There is no compelling evidence of a single murder. The law, sometimes, gets it wrong." In a forensic six-part podcast series, Sweeney, who helped free cot death mum Sally Clark in 2003, and investigative writer Edward Abel Smith address the elephant in the courtroom: was there ever a crime? The Crown's version is that there is compelling medical evidence, a confession and a spreadsheet proving she is the only common denominator when death happens on her watch, time and again. Lock her up and throw away the key. That's exactly what the trial judge did. Judge Goss told the court: "There was a deep malevolence bordering on sadism in your actions… you will spend the rest of your life in prison." The parents of those poor babies who died at the Countess of Chester Hospital have been going through hell, with every detail of their child's death being laid out in front of them. Nothing should take away from their tragedy or grief. But it is important in a country where we pride ourselves on our legal system, that Lucy's case is properly scrutinised. The trigger to this case was a spike in deaths in the unit, which looked after very premature, very small babies, sometimes only two pounds in weight at birth, from three deaths per year up to ten in 2015 and eight in 2016. How come? The series examines evidence from multiple Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspections and internal reports that highlight significant issues at the Countess of Chester Hospital's neonatal unit. These reports indicate the unit was understaffed, with workforce levels 20% below national standards, and faced challenges in maintaining proper care standards. The CQC noted poor maintenance of premises, to the point where some risks had to be escalated during inspections due to patient safety concerns. Internal documents from 2015 revealed the unit was "currently understaffed and underskilled," according to the nurse manager. The hospital's overall rating remained "requires improvement," with particular concerns raised about maternity and neonatal services. In other words the hospital was in the shit, literally and metaphorically, in bad condition, poorly staffed, the sink flooded with raw sewage when it rained heavily; that the spreadsheets proving Lucy's guilt tell a lie as dishonest as painting the target around the arrow after it has been shot; that the babies who died were very, very sick; that her "confession" is no such thing rather therapeutic processing of stress; that the medical evidence against her is a poorly evidenced theory, not fact; that the spike in baby deaths in Lucy's unit can be readily explained by the hospital accepting the most vulnerable babies for the first time, a national surge in neonatal deaths and the shit; that there was never proof of a single crime. And the hospital did not publish evidence of a high-risk bacteria in the tap at the neonatal unit. This podcast, from the makers of the award-winning podcast series, Hunting Ghislaine, will be an extraordinary listen. Look out for the first episode, "Was There Ever A Crime? The Trials of Lucy Letby: A Hospital Full Of Shit" The series is being crowdfunded as we are without any commercial backers for this project.

Former British nurse, Lucy Letby, is serving 15 life sentences for the murder and attempted murder of 14 babies. All of the infants were under her care when they were killed between 2015 and 2016. This summer her case was thrown out of the Court of Appeal. And yet doubts remain amongst a cohort of people who believe she may have been wrongly convicted on circumstantial evidence. Bizarre interventions on her behalf include that of the former Brexit Secretary, David Davis, on Good Morning Britain last week. Families of the victims say they are dismayed certain elements of the 10 month trial have been taken out of context and fuelled with misinformation. So why exactly do Letby's supporters believe she should walk free? We speak to miscarriage of justice investigator, David James Smith, who sat on the UK's Criminal Cases Review Commission between 2013 and 2018. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Shane was joined by journalist Enda Brady to discuss the ongoing developments surrounding Lucy Letby's conviction. As a public inquiry into how Letby was able to commit her crimes looms, some families are calling for a broader investigation
David Davis tells The Daily T he thinks “the balance of probabilities” is that the killer nurse is innocent, just as the health secretary says the public campaign to free her is “crass and insensitive”.With an inquiry into her crimes due to begin this week, the veteran Tory MP is in the studio again to reveal his own conclusions about Letby's case. We also hear from a Cambridge statistician who has raised concerns about the evidence used to convict the nurse of murdering seven babies.Plus, is Labour brave enough to reform the NHS? Ahead of the publication of a damning report on the health service, Camilla and Gordon ask why the new government are overlooking one its biggest crises: social care.We want to hear from you!

Lucy Letby seemed to be a quiet, friendly nurse who was dedicated to her job working in a neonatal unit at the Countess of Chester Hospital in Chester, England. In 2023, she was convicted of killing multiple babies from June 2015 to June 2016 and attacking others. After an article advocating for her innocence appeared in the New Yorker, her case got even more controversial. But what does the evidence say?

Tech billionaire Mike Lynch, who recently died in a yacht accident off the coast of Sicily, had reportedly been considering funding an "Innocence Project" to investigate the conviction of Lucy Letby, a former nurse found guilty of murdering seven babies and attempting to kill six others at the Countess of Chester Hospital. This revelation comes as medical and legal experts continue to question the evidence used to convict Letby, describing it as "unsafe." Lynch, known for his expertise in probability theory and his involvement in high-profile legal battles, was one of seven people who lost their lives when his yacht, the Bayesian, sank during a storm. The incident claimed the lives of Lynch, his 18-year-old daughter Hannah, and five others, including Morgan Stanley International bank chairman Jonathan Bloomer and his wife Judith, as well as Clifford Chance lawyer Christopher Morvillo and his wife Neda. Lynch's wife, Angela Bacares, was among the 15 survivors who managed to escape on a lifeboat. Former Brexit secretary David Davis revealed Lynch's interest in Letby's case, noting that Lynch had questioned the statistical evidence that played a crucial role in her conviction. “Mike was a world-class expert on probability theory and saw straight through the statistical weaknesses that underpinned the Letby prosecution,” Davis wrote. Lynch's experience with the justice system, particularly his own decade-long battle against fraud charges in the US, may have influenced his interest in investigating possible miscarriages of justice like Letby's. Letby was sentenced to 15 whole-life orders, making her only the fourth woman in UK history to be told she will never be released from prison. The trial, which lasted 10 months, was marked by complex medical evidence and statistical arguments that took time to explain to the jury. Some of the evidence included notes written by Letby that read, "I AM EVIL I DID THIS" and "I killed them on purpose because I am not good enough," which the prosecution presented as confessions. However, other notes suggested a different state of mind, with Letby writing, "Kill myself right now … hate my life, fear, panic, despair, WHY ME? I haven't done anything wrong." Several experts have criticized the conviction, arguing that the reliance on statistical evidence and expert opinion on complex medical issues created an "unsafe" basis for the guilty verdicts. Peter Green, a mathematics professor at Bristol University, told The Economist that the conviction is "unsafe," while Philip Dawid, a statistics professor at Cambridge University, said it "leaves a bad taste in the mouth." Green and other experts argued in their booklet, "Healthcare Serial Killer or Coincidence?" that using statistical correlations to establish guilt was flawed, comparing it to "painting the target around the arrow." Further complicating matters, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) admitted errors in the evidence initially presented about staff entries and exits at the neonatal unit, although they claimed these mistakes were corrected during the retrial. This has not quelled concerns among some experts who believe the conviction should be re-examined. Channel 4 is set to produce a two-part documentary, "The Trial of Lucy Letby," directed by Emmy award-winning filmmaker Daniel Bogado. The series aims to explore the details of Letby's trial and the ongoing debates about her conviction. Meanwhile, a public inquiry into how Letby was able to commit her crimes on the neonatal unit will begin at Liverpool Town Hall. As the public and legal community await the inquiry and documentary, Lynch's interest in Letby's case adds a poignant layer to his legacy. Known for challenging injustices, Lynch's tragic death has reignited discussions about fairness in high-profile cases. The Lynch family, grieving the loss of both Mike and Hannah, expressed their gratitude to those involved in the rescue efforts. "The Lynch family is devastated, in shock, and is being comforted and supported by family and friends. Their thoughts are with everyone affected by the tragedy," a family spokesperson stated, asking for privacy during this time of grief. Hannah Lynch, who had just completed her A-levels and was preparing to study English at Oxford University, was remembered for her kindness and academic excellence. “She was endlessly caring, passionately mad, unintentionally hilarious, and the most amazing, supportive, and joyful sister and best friend to me,” her sister Esme said. Her teachers also praised her as “one of the best English students in the country.” As the investigation into Letby's case continues and the public inquiry looms, Lynch's untimely death serves as a stark reminder of the complexities surrounding justice and the importance of thorough examination in high-profile cases.

This revelation comes as medical and legal experts continue to question the evidence used to convict Letby, describing it as "unsafe." Lynch, known for his expertise in probability theory and his involvement in high-profile legal battles, was one of seven people who lost their lives when his yacht, the Bayesian, sank during a storm. The incident claimed the lives of Lynch, his 18-year-old daughter Hannah, and five others, including Morgan Stanley International bank chairman Jonathan Bloomer and his wife Judith, as well as Clifford Chance lawyer Christopher Morvillo and his wife Neda. Lynch's wife, Angela Bacares, was among the 15 survivors who managed to escape on a lifeboat. Former Brexit secretary David Davis revealed Lynch's interest in Letby's case, noting that Lynch had questioned the statistical evidence that played a crucial role in her conviction. “Mike was a world-class expert on probability theory and saw straight through the statistical weaknesses that underpinned the Letby prosecution,” Davis wrote. Lynch's experience with the justice system, particularly his own decade-long battle against fraud charges in the US, may have influenced his interest in investigating possible miscarriages of justice like Letby's. Letby was sentenced to 15 whole-life orders, making her only the fourth woman in UK history to be told she will never be released from prison. The trial, which lasted 10 months, was marked by complex medical evidence and statistical arguments that took time to explain to the jury. Some of the evidence included notes written by Letby that read, "I AM EVIL I DID THIS" and "I killed them on purpose because I am not good enough," which the prosecution presented as confessions. However, other notes suggested a different state of mind, with Letby writing, "Kill myself right now … hate my life, fear, panic, despair, WHY ME? I haven't done anything wrong." Several experts have criticized the conviction, arguing that the reliance on statistical evidence and expert opinion on complex medical issues created an "unsafe" basis for the guilty verdicts. Peter Green, a mathematics professor at Bristol University, told The Economist that the conviction is "unsafe," while Philip Dawid, a statistics professor at Cambridge University, said it "leaves a bad taste in the mouth." Green and other experts argued in their booklet, "Healthcare Serial Killer or Coincidence?" that using statistical correlations to establish guilt was flawed, comparing it to "painting the target around the arrow." Further complicating matters, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) admitted errors in the evidence initially presented about staff entries and exits at the neonatal unit, although they claimed these mistakes were corrected during the retrial. This has not quelled concerns among some experts who believe the conviction should be re-examined. Channel 4 is set to produce a two-part documentary, "The Trial of Lucy Letby," directed by Emmy award-winning filmmaker Daniel Bogado. The series aims to explore the details of Letby's trial and the ongoing debates about her conviction. Meanwhile, a public inquiry into how Letby was able to commit her crimes on the neonatal unit will begin at Liverpool Town Hall. As the public and legal community await the inquiry and documentary, Lynch's interest in Letby's case adds a poignant layer to his legacy. Known for challenging injustices, Lynch's tragic death has reignited discussions about fairness in high-profile cases. The Lynch family, grieving the loss of both Mike and Hannah, expressed their gratitude to those involved in the rescue efforts. "The Lynch family is devastated, in shock, and is being comforted and supported by family and friends. Their thoughts are with everyone affected by the tragedy," a family spokesperson stated, asking for privacy during this time of grief. Hannah Lynch, who had just completed her A-levels and was preparing to study English at Oxford University, was remembered for her kindness and academic excellence. “She was endlessly caring, passionately mad, unintentionally hilarious, and the most amazing, supportive, and joyful sister and best friend to me,” her sister Esme said. Her teachers also praised her as “one of the best English students in the country.” As the investigation into Letby's case continues and the public inquiry looms, Lynch's untimely death serves as a stark reminder of the complexities surrounding justice and the importance of thorough examination in high-profile cases.

UPDATE: On the day on which this update was recorded, a significant development occurred in the case of Lucy Letby, a former nurse who ruthlessly and deliberately murdered seven newborn babies at the neonatal unit of the Countess of Chester Hospital in England. Tune in to hear this devastating update, "hot off the press," as tragically, Letby has just been convicted of taking yet another precious life. If you've already listened to our coverage of this heartbreaking case, we encourage you to listen again along with the update provided at the top of the episode. If you have not yet listened, be sure to check out our full coverage of the entire case in our two episodes, Nightmare Nurse: Lucy Letby (Part 1 and 2). Please listen with caution. For nearly a full year between June 2015 and June 2016, the neonatal unit at Countess of Chester Hospital in England was plagued by a series of heart-wrenching and inexplicable infant deaths at a rate that was not just alarming, but also statistically unusual and significant. Tragically, newborn baby fatalities and/or near-death collapses were occuring abruptly and often, and crucially, under the care and supervision of one young nurse named Lucy Letby. As the expression goes: once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, three times is a pattern. Seventeen times (at least) is the work of the most prolific child serial killer in modern UK history.

Lucy Letby, a neonatal nurse in the United Kingdom, gained national notoriety as a convicted murderer responsible for the deaths of multiple infants under her care. Employed at the Countess of Chester Hospital, Letby was initially trusted to care for the most vulnerable patients—premature and sick newborns. However, suspicions arose as an unusual number of … Continue reading Episode 409: Lucy Letby, the Baby-Killing Nurse
Lucy Letby, the British neonatal nurse previously found guilty of murdering seven infants and attempting to murder six others, is back in court facing charges of attempted murder involving a baby girl known as Child K. Lucy Letby, 34, who was convicted last year of multiple counts of infant murder and attempted murder at the Countess of Chester Hospital, is on trial again for the alleged attempted murder of another infant, identified only as Child K. The incident reportedly took place in February 2016 while Letby was on shift in the hospital's neonatal unit. During the court session on Tuesday, Judge Mr. Justice Goss addressed the jury, emphasizing the importance of basing their verdict solely on the evidence presented in court. He stated, “Your task is to determine on all the evidence placed before you, and on nothing else, whether [Letby] attempted to murder another baby called (Child K) during the period when she was found to have murdered or attempted to murder other babies.” Goss added, “You will try this case, I repeat, on the evidence that is placed before you. You are the sole judges of fact. You will decide what is and what is not truthful from the evidence and the conclusions and assessment you draw from the evidence.” He also reminded the jury of the fundamental legal principle that anyone accused of a crime is innocent until proven guilty, stating, “It is for the prosecution to prove guilt by making you sure of the accused's guilt.” Letby was removed from her position at the Countess of Chester Hospital in 2016 after senior staff grew suspicious due to a series of unexplained infant deaths and near-deaths over the previous year. Following an extensive investigation, she was arrested in July 2018. During her 10-month trial at Manchester Crown Court, prosecutors accused Letby of heinous acts including force-feeding milk to infants, poisoning them with insulin, and injecting air into their tiny bodies. The court found her guilty in August 2023 on 14 of the 22 counts she faced, resulting in a life sentence. At her sentencing, the judge condemned Letby's actions, describing her behavior as a “cruel, calculated and cynical campaign of child murder involving the smallest and most vulnerable of children.” Despite the overwhelming evidence and her conviction, Letby has consistently denied any involvement in the infants' deaths. The new trial has reignited distress among the families affected by Letby's previous actions. The community remains deeply affected by the tragic loss of life and the breach of trust by a caregiver in such a crucial and sensitive role. The outcome of this new trial will depend on the jury's assessment of the evidence presented in court regarding the alleged attempted murder of Child K. As the trial proceeds, the focus remains on ensuring justice is served based on the facts. Lucy Letby's new trial is a pivotal moment in a case that has already shocked the nation. The court's determination in this matter will be closely watched by the public and the families of the victims, as they seek closure and justice for the alleged crimes committed against their loved ones.
