Expert Panel Disputes Conviction of Nurse Lucy Letby, Attributes Deaths to Medical Failures

A panel of 14 medical experts argues that Lucy Letby did not murder the infants; instead, deaths stemmed from medical errors or natural causes.

Overview

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

A group of 14 pediatric specialists claims Lucy Letby, convicted of murdering seven newborns, did not commit any murders, attributing deaths to natural causes and poor medical care. Chaired by Dr. Shoo Lee, the panel's findings challenge the validity of the evidence used during Letby's trial. This new report is pivotal for her legal team's request for the Criminal Cases Review Commission to reconsider her convictions, which she has already unsuccessfully appealed twice. The inquiry into systemic failures at the Countess of Chester Hospital is still ongoing, focusing on accountability of the hospital's staff and management.
