Letby Lawyer Says 26-Expert Dossier Filed to CCRC as Channel 4 Documentary Airs

Her lawyer says he has lodged 26 expert reports with the CCRC, which is assessing new submissions challenging the medical and statistical case.

Overview

  • Barrister Mark McDonald said he has submitted reports from 26 experts and more than 1,000 pages of material to the Criminal Cases Review Commission.
  • Channel 4 broadcast Lucy Letby: Murder or Mistake, a two-part film presenting competing interpretations of the evidence surrounding her convictions.
  • Letby remains in HMP Bronzefield under whole-life orders after being found guilty in 2023 of murdering seven infants and attempting to murder seven others.
  • A 14-member neonatal panel led by Dr Shoo Lee previously reported it found no murders, attributing deaths or injuries to natural causes or medical care failings.
  • Defence challenges target door-swipe timing errors disclosed at a retrial, disputed medical findings on air embolism and insulin testing, and rota-based statistical inferences, while affected families maintain confidence in the verdict and decry innocence campaigns.
