More Than 50 Experts Ready to Defend Letby, Says Her Lawyer

by Will Jones
4 December 2024 3:14 PM

More than 50 experts stand ready to defend Lucy Letby, her barrister has said, as the police confirm they have questioned her in prison over more deaths and collapses. The Telegraph has the story.

On Tuesday night, Cheshire Constabulary confirmed that it had questioned Letby about more deaths and collapses at the Countess of Chester Hospital and also at Liverpool Women’s Hospital, where she worked as a student.

Mark McDonald, Letby’s barrister, confirmed that she had agreed to be voluntarily interviewed by officers but had not been arrested.

Mr. McDonald, who is planning to take Letby’s case to the Criminal Cases Review Commission, said she maintained her innocence. He said he had met dozens of experts in neonatology, pathology and statistics who were willing to question the evidence against her.

“Lucy maintains her innocence, and she has never, and would never, harm any child,” he said. “It was a voluntary interview to which she voluntarily agreed. She was not arrested, and it was all very vague.

“Right now, we are focusing on showing that her original conviction is unsafe and we have made very substantial progress in doing so, which makes me question the timing of this by the police.

“Last Saturday, I had a meeting with over 50 experts from across the world in neonatology, statistics, anaesthetics and pathology, so any new trial – which I am sceptical there will be – we will have a line of expert witnesses. They are also ready to question the reliability of the evidence that was presented at the first trial.”

Letby, 34, of Hereford, is already serving 14 whole-life terms for the murders of seven infants and the attempted murders of seven others at the Countess of Chester between 2015 and 2016.

Following the verdicts, Cheshire Constabulary said it would be reviewing around 4,000 more babies that she cared for at the Countess of Chester and Liverpool Women’s Hospital, where she completed placements in 2012 and 2015.

The ongoing Thirlwall Inquiry – which is looking into how deaths at the Countess of Chester could have been prevented – has previously heard that dislodgement of breathing tubes happened at a rate 40 times higher than normal during Letby’s shifts at Liverpool Women’s Hospital.

However, neonatologists and statisticians have written to Lady Justice Thirlwall questioning the data and branding it “not credible”.

Worth reading in full.

Good morning. It’s me again.

Feel free to fill in the blanks.

Morning HP! Another day, another holler…

Oh I see you’ve got 5 DTs already and you posted 5 hrs ago…so…doing the maths…one an hour, a sort of trickle of DTs…maybe the hosepipe ban affects them..

As for your ‘blank’, may I suggest ‘a great awakening’, it’s either that or ‘the Fox and Hounds’…although a bit early for the pub…

“Corporate insolvencies jump in England and Wales after withdrawal of Covid support”

For my little business, it was the pointless scare about Omicron that very nearly did for us. I dread the words ‘work from home’ dripping casually from an officials mouth, as that will be the end of us.

Absolutely. We must not forget that although there was not a lockdown over Omicron (which Sunak claims he personally prevented – I’m not believing that yet), there was certainly a massive campaign of fear, which frightened people away from pubs. “The new variant is spreading fast”, Saint Boris said. Every time I have written to my MP, I have said that their lockdowns have actively deterred people from setting up business, because we never know when the government might snatch it all away on a panicked whim, with no Parliamentary scrutiny, and no exit plan, now that the precedent has been set.

And yes, it’s despicable the way politicians are so CASUAL with words that have massive implications for people less rich and famous than they are. “I’m sorry I destroyed your business; but can we pleeeeeease move on from Barnard Castle?” “We need to squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze the brakes on reopening.” “Can we please move on from Partygate?” Yeah, let’s just move on from the massive hypocrisies. So casually uttered.

If you’re on Telegram I strongly advise you to join Anna de Buisseret’s channel. She’s a UK lawyer specialising in employment law, former Army Officer & is all over the lawfulness of the government diktats. Some very useful stuff on there. Plus if you needed to engage an employment lawyer & you’re in London, she’s your woman. The other option you have for information is PJ Hyland (solicitor for Dr Sam White) as he too specialises in employment law.
Both of these are Truth Warriors & have been standing up & speaking out from the start.

We are involved in events BB. On the day that the first lockdown was announced I had 73 booking cancellations in 8 hours as everyone cleared their diaries and went home. We did get a few bob from Rishi, and through sound management etc, we survived quite well. When Omicron came round there was no official lockdown, yet still 80% of the recovering order-book disappeared for five months, due to people reverting to Zoom and other ways of not meeting in large groups. What reserves we had were swallowed up, all except the coins in the ashtray of my car, with which we have eeked out a meagre living since.

Of course with nothing ‘official’ just the careless advice of people who ought to have known better to ‘work from home’, I don’t believe we have any recourse, even if we had the money to pursue it. As we are, we are hanging on, recovering slowly, paying off the Bounce Back loan (yes we are…), but one more careless statement will do us in. Its not good to have this hanging over us, and I’m certainly not investing further with that risk on our heads. I just wish some of the talking heads in the media would shut their cake holes, rather than hypothesizing and scaring people into more unnecessary safety-ism over a mild upper respiratory infection.

My business was down to its last £1,500 at one point and I was about to liquidate. I had been exempted from support, because I was a limited company director, which struck me as deliberate, given the plan to implement IR35 (got rid of that Liz!)
By pure chance, someone I had worked with in the past had her email hacked and I got a load of dross sent from her account. I sent her a message on her work email to warn her and ended up being offered some work that carried on in dribs and drabs for 18 months. I accepted being paid two thirds of my usual amount and was grateful to have anything at all. It saved my business. I will never forgive the Government for almost destroying my business and my livelihood.

And it’s worth emphasising that Mark Steyn’s output on GBN that is mentioned via your link is on the ball at present. It’s amazing that GBN’s output on YouTube actually works, as well; perhaps the advertising revenue to YT is worthwhile?

Silly season news … Nick Cohen’s Observer column was suspended because he allegedly had a less-than-contructive professional conversation with a female colleague 17 years ago.

There’s really nothing more to that. IMHO, that would be a good reason to get rid of the lady. Still being vengeful 17 years after a non-event is a sign of someone being a really nasty piece of work. Her present colleagues would probably appreciate that. Even if they don’t dare to speak out.

Japan’s mask compliance is still at historic highs–and now its virus cases are at historic highs as well. If that’s “success”, I’d really hate to see what failure looks like.

I always thought that the “something must be done” bureaucrats copied the idea from Japan – it seems to be common practice on crush-loaded public transport over there, e.g. Whether it ever worked is a different issue, but it looked like a copycat job to me.

Michie said that she saw them there first and claimed to be very impressed with the social courtesy of the Japanese who’d protect others from their oral effluent as a matter of course.

This is truly scary what has been voted through in New Zealand regarding abortion.
We can never forget or forgive this level of depravity.

In a couple of states in the US there was legislation proposed to allow abortion after birth!

OMFG what is the source please? I cannot believe what I’m reading! Is this for real?? I’m pro-choice but with strict time limitations, and I do not support the current ones which state you can have an abortion up until 24 weeks, whereby the foetus is considered ‘viable’ after that. But are they really saying that now you can abort a fully-formed baby if you are 8 or 9 months pregnant?? Why isn’t this horror show all over the flipping press? Abortion based on the gender of the foetus?? I’m off to hurl, this is despicable. 🙁

I don’t have the original source but this came from a trusted truth warrior.
I know of & treated individuals who were 23 weeks gestation at birth who lived to adulthood. Yes they had huge problems but there are limits to what is moral.

In my book, the post birth treatment of a live & viable new born is infanticide.
