Lucy Letby Case Sparks Concerns Over Convictions and Trial Conduct

New inquiries reveal potential mishandling by police and prosecutors, raising questions about the validity of Letby's convictions.

Lucy Letby was convicted of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder seven others, but concerns about the safety of her convictions have emerged.
Experts argue that statistical evidence used in Letby's trials may have been misapplied, with the prosecution accused of committing the 'prosecutor's fallacy.'
The inquiry into the case has highlighted errors in the use of door swipe records, which were initially used to establish Letby's presence during incidents.
Letby's defense team, supported by leading neonatologists, is challenging the medical evidence presented in the trials, citing alternative explanations for the babies' deaths.
The public inquiry, led by Lady Justice Thirlwall, continues to examine the handling of the case, with findings expected to be published by late 2025.
