Lucy Letby supporters have produced no compelling evidence for miscarriage of justice

69% Informative
Lucy Letby’s supporters have not produced any compelling evidence for a miscarriage of justice.
Professor Shoo Lee , a retired neonatologist and health economist, discussed seven of the 15 counts of murder and attempted murder of which Letby was convicted of which she was convicted.
Lee says that his research should not have been used against Letby .
He argues that his original paper did not make a distinction between venous (in the veins) and arterial air embolism.
There is no doubt that Lee ’s experts are nearly all at the top of their profession or somewhere near it.
It is less clear whether they had access to all the information available to the experts who were called in the original trials, and there is a strong indications that they had little idea of what was said in those trials.
Letby 's defenders often portray the prosecution case as being a one -man crusade by paediatrician Dr Dewi Evans .
Eminent and distinguished medics though they may be, much of what they are saying is legally hopeless if not actually hopeless.
Much of the evidence that convicted Letby came out during the trial and would not necessarily be found in medical records.
Lee ’s report strongly implies that Baby A had anti-phospholipid syndrome and explicitly states that he died of a blood clot.
