Experts challenge baby killings conviction of UK nurse Lucy Letby
Feb 04, 2025
Experts are questioning the conviction of UK nurse Lucy Letby, who was found guilty of killing 7 babies. Her supporters believe the evidence used at her trial was flawed. Letby's lawyer has submitted a new application to review her case. International medical experts have concluded that there is no evidence to prove she committed any crime. Letby's previous appeals have been rejected, but her legal team is hopeful that this new evidence will help overturn her conviction. The experts believe that the babies' deaths were due to natural causes or medical errors, not murder. The Criminal Cases Review Commission is now assessing the new evidence. In the meantime, the government has set up a public inquiry to investigate how the murders went undetected and to review the hospital's response. Letby, who is currently serving a life sentence, maintains her innocence. The police are also conducting further investigations into her case. Letby's case has sparked a lot of debate and speculation, but it will ultimately be up to the courts to decide her fate.
