Dr Michael Hall writes to inquiry saying he does not believe nurse received fair trial
Lady Justice Thirlwall is the chair of the inquiry into the deaths of babies at the Countess of Chester Hospital's neonatal unit.Lady Justice Thirlwall is the chair of the inquiry into the deaths of babies at the Countess of Chester Hospital's neonatal unit.
Some of the lawyers representing the families of babies who died or collapsed at the Countess of Chester’s neonatal unit in 2015-16, where Letby worked, have also criticised the questioning of the convictions, and said it was increasing their distress. In Hall’s letter to the inquiry, which the Guardian has seen, he objects to Thirlwall’s opening remarks, in particular her characterisation that those questioning the verdicts were not at the trial. This was “incorrect”, he said, explaining that he had attended the trial throughout, in person or by video link, except for two or three half-days, for which he read the transcripts of the hearings.
