The Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) has received 23 expert reports from 24 experts from eight different countries, submitted by Lucy Letby’s barrister, Mark McDonald.
The criminal barrister Mark McDonald asserts that in his ” 26 years of being a criminal barrister, I have never seen so much evidence of innocence.”
Babies at a hospital where Lucy Letby worked died from poor care, prematurity and natural causes concludes the 700 page report
Letby, 35, from Hereford, is serving 15 whole-life orders for killing seven babies and attempting to murder seven others at the Countess of Chester Hospital between 2015 and 2016 after being found guilty at Manchester Crown Court
Jonathan Sumption, the former judge at the Supreme Court, who has said that the evidence indicates that she is “probably innocent”
“No one saw Lucy that day harming these babies.” and added that Lucy Letby’s case illustrates “the problems of convicting someone of very serious offences on the basis of purely circumstantial evidence.”
Meanwhile Lady Justice Thirlwall is writing her report now into what happened at the Countess of Chester hospital, dismissing legal arguments that if Letby turns out not to be a murderer, her inquiry’s recommendations to stop future NHS murderers might completely miss the point
