I was part of the panel that reviewed the Lucy Letby case. I believe the trial was fundamentally flawed | Neena Modi

Former neonatal nurse Lucy Letby was convicted of murder of seven babies at the Countess of Chester Hospital .

She was found guilty of attempted murder and murder in August 2023 .

A review of the cases by an international panel of 14 experienced clinicians , of which I am one, was released last week .

We identified issues at the level of individuals and teams, and systemic issues within the NHS , but our conclusions were that there was no evidence of malfeasance.

Neena Modi is professor of neonatal medicine at Imperial College London .

She says the jury reached their verdict on the basis of information that was incomplete and misleading.

She asks: How can multidisciplinary expertise be convened to advise on such matters directly to the court, and not on behalf of either prosecution or defence? Do you have an opinion on the issues raised in this article?.
