Overview
- Lucy Letby, convicted of murdering seven infants and attempting to kill eight others, is serving 15 life sentences for crimes committed between 2015 and 2016.
- An international panel of 14 neonatal experts will present purportedly significant new medical evidence at a press conference in London on Tuesday.
- The panel, including Canadian neonatologist Dr. Shoo Lee, challenges the prosecution's interpretation of air embolism evidence and skin discoloration as causes of death.
- Letby's legal team intends to submit an application to the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC), which could potentially lead to a retrial if new evidence meets its high threshold for review.
- The CCRC has begun preliminary preparations for a potential application, while a public inquiry into how Letby committed her crimes continues with findings expected later this year.
