Lucy Letby's Appeal Rejected, Faces New Conviction

The former nurse's bid to overturn her convictions for murdering seven babies was denied, and she was found guilty of attempting to murder another infant.

  • Appeal court judges upheld the original verdicts, dismissing all grounds of Letby's appeal.
  • Letby argued the trial judge made errors, but the court found the trial was conducted fairly.
  • The Criminal Cases Review Commission remains a possible avenue for Letby to challenge her convictions.
  • Letby was convicted of attempting to murder a baby girl during a retrial at Manchester Crown Court.
  • A public inquiry into Letby's actions at the hospital is scheduled to begin in September.
