'You have no remorse': 'Disgraced' nurse Lucy Letby sentenced to life in prison. Child serial killer nurse Lucy Letby has been sentenced to another whole-life order for the attempted murder of a baby girl.
• NOW LISTEN:Just over a fortnight has passed since Lucy Letby was handed a 15th whole-life sentence for trying to murder another premature baby girl entrusted to her care.
Alarmingly, within days this group of dissenting voices began to grow and quickly moved into the mainstream, with articles in respected newspapers questioning whether both juries had 'got it wrong'. Even in this newspaper, my colleague Peter Hitchens added reason and weight to the hysteria, writing how he felt 'baffled' by the Court of Appeal's 'swift' rejection of Letby's bid to contest her guilty verdicts. He also highlighted the 13,000-word dissection of her case by Rachel Aviv in The New Yorker magazine as evidence it should go before the Criminal Cases Review Commission.
Supporters of Letby demonstrate outside the High court in London during her appeal hearing. The campaigners claim she is a victim of a miscarriage of justice Dr Evans worked as a paediatrician in hospitals in South Wales for 30 years and led the development of neonatal intensive care services before retiring in 2009.
Significantly, none of the doctors and specialists now calling out his theories had access to any of the babies' medical notes that he spent months examining.There has been much speculation online and in recent reports about why Letby's defence team failed to call their own expert, paediatrician Dr Mike Hall, to give evidence.
Similarly, although Letby's KC Mr Myers challenged the quality of blood samples which belatedly revealed two of the babies had been poisoned by insulin, the barrister never questioned whether the tests were suitable for use in a criminal prosecution, as some journalists have done. A court artist sketch of the convicted former nurse as she gives evidence during her trial at Manchester Crown Court earlier this monthThe Guardian reported that seven neonatologists, who refused to give their names, have called Dr Evans' theory about how Letby injected air into the stomachs of several babies via their nasal feeding tubes, 'implausible' and 'ridiculous'.
His report, which the Mail has seen, arguably goes further than those of Dr Evans because he identifies another baby boy, whose case was not part of either trial, who was likely hurt this way. Dr Ward Platt's report was never presented to the jury because he developed a terminal illness and died in 2019 before the trial began.
Like other experts now questioning Letby's guilt, Dr Lee did not have access to the babies' medical notes or doctors' witness statements when making this assessment. Then there was Baby N, the premature boy with haemophilia, who 'screamed' and couldn't be consoled for around half an hour when his designated nurse went on his break.
That is true but, while the Prosecution insist she was 'hiding in plain sight', they also pointed to plenty of examples — conveniently ignored by her supporters — of when her behaviour gave her away. After Baby I's death, her mother recalled Letby 'smiling' and making inappropriate comments. 'She kept going on about how she was present at the first bath and how had loved it,' the mother said. 'I wished she would just stop talking.'
