Overview

• Conviction: The Case of Lucy Letby is a two-part Channel 4 documentary that argues there is reasonable doubt about the 2023 verdict.
• The programme follows barrister Mark McDonald as he seeks a Criminal Cases Review Commission referral to the Court of Appeal, a process that is still ongoing.
• Prosecution expert Dr Dewi Evans features prominently, defending his testimony and characterising criticism of him as a "London-based media stitch-up."
• The film re-examines the handwritten Post-it notes shown at trial as apparent confessions, noting Letby’s claim they were counselling exercises.
• Interviewees including Dr Phil Hammond and Dr Shoo Lee discuss alternative explanations involving clinical failings and resource pressures, while some parents say a transfer away from Chester hospital saved their child.
