Lucy Letby's Appeal Rejected Amidst Ongoing Inquiry

The Court of Appeal has upheld the conviction of nurse Lucy Letby for attempted murder, as a public inquiry delves into hospital mismanagement and missed opportunities.

Lucy Letby, convicted of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder seven others, has lost her appeal against her conviction for the attempted murder of a baby girl.
The appeal was rejected by judges who found no grounds to challenge the fairness of Letby's second trial, despite claims of prejudicial media coverage.
A public inquiry is examining systemic issues at the Chester Hospital, including staff shortages and missed opportunities to involve police earlier.
The inquiry has revealed concerns about Letby's character and competence, with colleagues describing her as both well-liked and 'cold' or 'uncompassionate'.
Testimonies from the inquiry highlight significant gaps in hospital protocols and governance that may have allowed Letby to evade detection for an extended period.
