Key Witness Changes Testimony in Lucy Letby Case Amid New Evidence

Dr. Dewi Evans revises his opinion on Baby C's death, prompting further scrutiny of Letby's convictions.

Dr. Dewi Evans, a key witness in Lucy Letby's trial, has altered his opinion on the cause of Baby C's death, now attributing it to air in the bloodstream rather than the stomach.
New evidence from a BBC investigation revealed that Letby was not on duty when a crucial X-ray showing air in Baby C's stomach was taken.
Consultant paediatrician Dr. John Gibbs expressed shame and regret at a public inquiry for failing to protect babies from Letby, citing firm pushback from senior nurses against suspicions.
Five senior clinicians reviewed Baby C's medical notes and concluded that the child should have been in a higher-level unit, with some experts suggesting natural causes for the death.
Letby, convicted of murdering seven infants and attempting to murder seven others, is serving 15 whole-life terms, but serious doubts about the safety of her convictions have emerged.
