Overview

  • The ITV documentary “Lucy Letby: Beyond Reasonable Doubt?” presented unseen wedding photos from her bail period and featured expert interviews challenging the circumstantial narrative used at Manchester Crown Court.
  • A medical panel led by Dr Shoo Lee contended that no criminal offences were committed while statistician Professor Jane Hutton called the shift-pattern correlations “grossly misleading.”
  • Forensic scientists criticised the rapid insulin-level tests central to the prosecution as lacking the rigour required for criminal findings.
  • Letby’s defence lodged fresh evidence with the Criminal Cases Review Commission in April seeking to reopen her case based on newly highlighted flaws.
  • The Crown Prosecution Service is assessing additional police files on further neonatal deaths at Countess of Chester and Liverpool Women’s hospitals for potential charges.
