Lucy Letby Was Not on Duty When Many the Babies She Was Accused of Murdering Went Downhill Fastest, New Audit Finds
A new audit of baby deaths at Lucy Letby’s hospital reveals that many of the most sudden declines happened when she wasn’t on duty. The Mail on Sunday has the story.
The mortality data, which has been compiled from multiple sources, including Freedom of Information requests, is understood to show a broader spike in deaths during the period focused on by the police investigation – bolstering Letby’s argument that the fatalities were caused by wider failures of care at the Countess of Chester Hospital.
A new legal team, led by Mark McDonald KC, has been instructed to take Letby’s case to the Criminal Cases Review Commission, which investigates potential miscarriages of justice and can refer cases back to the Court of Appeal for consideration.
Letby is serving 15 whole-life orders after being found guilty of murdering seven babies and attempting to end the lives of seven more between 2015 and 2016. But several respected experts have come forward to express their concern about the reliability of the evidence.
Mr. McDonald, who says the case could be the “biggest miscarriage of justice in the history of the United Kingdom”, is also focusing on the role of Dr. Dewi Evans, the chief prosecution witness, whose evidence was pivotal to Letby’s conviction.
Last month, following a Radio 4 investigation, Dr. Evans changed his mind about how Ms. Letby is said to have killed one of her victims, after it emerged that the nurse was not even at the hospital where the baby died at the time an apparently damning X-ray was taken.
Last week, the Mail on Sunday revealed that a judge in a previous case had dismissed Dr. Evans’s evidence as “worthless”.

It seems to me the CPS chooses not to prosecute cases the public want done but those it pursues it does so incompetently.
It failed to get involved with the Post Office cases and decided not to deal with several sex abuse cases including for well known celebs.
Judges seem unable to ensure court hearings are promptly and efficiently conducted. They too often appear to decide what the outcome should be and dismiss witnesses because they do not fit the received wisdom of the case.
Is this due to political appointments, inefficiency and poor leadership, politicised institutions or a lack of accountability. Maybe all of them.
Trust in the justice system and respect for the outcomes is at a low level.
“Trust in the justice system and respect for the outcomes is at a low level.”
Actually I believe trust in our justice system is shot. Kneel has completely undermined the so-called justice system with his brutal inversions and his two-tier moniker proves that. Starmer is known as Two-tier Kier amongst all the people I associate with and few of them share my scepticism. His vicious treatment of Tommy Robinson, Peter Lynch and hundreds of others have cemented his place as the most evil, vindictive prime minister ever elected to office in this country.
Kneel is a traitor and a deeply committed one and I suspect he is well aware of the fact. His contempt for this country and it’s people is clear for all to see and he is quite proud of it, his way of proving to his WEF masters what a good little boy he is.
Kneel has one aim – total destruction of the United Kingdom and those who have not yet recognised this fact are in for a rude awakening.
Beyond reasonable doubt..? At what point does doubt stop being reasonable.?
Nobody is above the law – except multi-cultural enriching rape gangs, illegal migrants, MPs who beat up their constituents, people from our favourite religion who attack the police in Manchester Airport, BBC kiddy-fiddlers, anybody giving money to Labour, JUst Stop Oil idiots, rabid anti-semites etc etc.
It’s increasingly clear this was a deeply unsafe conviction.
Shame on the judiciary for trying to block an appeal.
It’s the cover up that is, always, most telling.
Just shows you the sort of in group bias and willingness to throw someone to the wolves. I have no doubt that she will be released although I doubt that the real culprits will be mentioned. We can make sure that she gets lavish compensation.
The Labour Party are throwing farmers to the wolves:

Just pick off a few at a time, when they are most defenceless, and it’s not as though people need food, is it.
It’s the attitude that taxation is central to their way of life, (it is), and incorporating any punishment is a big plus. In the Lucy Letby’s case, and the farmers, it devastates the victim, and puts those in a similar line of work into a threatening position. It’s a constant theme.
And it is yet another completely illogical policy, along with everything else that the Daily Sceptic reports.
We can give her a big wad of money, a kiss on the cheek and the sense that she has inspired a whole new truth movement. In that sense we can make her feel like it was worthwhile.
What use is a big wad of money? She is labelled for the rest of her life, her career destroyed and why? Because someone needed a scapegoat for despicable performance of a hospital. We need to find out who is responsible, and it certainly isn’t a nurse. That person(s) should get the 15 life sentences and pay personally the 10’s of millions of compensation that is due. If they cannot pay all of it, they should do hard labour until they die. Too severe? I think not! As it appears to be a group project, we will probably need a new prison for them!
Well put totally agree. The big surprise is they’re surprised we don’t trust them.
