Barrister Mark McDonald has said the case against Lucy Letby has been "demolished". But will she find justice in a UK court system battling for its credibility, asks Timothy Bradshaw.

All the babies that Lucy Letby was convicted of killing actually died of natural causes, often due to poor medical care, and were not murdered, a panel of 14 medical experts has concluded.

One of Lucy Letby's chief accusers was likely part responsible for the death of Baby O due to "suboptimal care", an expert review has found, casting further doubt on the nurse's convictions, says Prof David Livermore.

A statistical paper questioning the guilt of Lucy Letby has been refused publication by a science journal over fears that it might upset the parents of her victims.

Lucy Letby’s lawyers have said they have new evidence that "significantly" undermines her convictions after a key medical witness changed his mind about three baby deaths. They urge the Court of Appeal to reopen the case.

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.

Three baby deaths for which Lucy Letby was convicted had medical explanations and may have been preventable with better care, a leaked expert report not seen by the original jury concluded.

A new audit of baby deaths at Lucy Letby's hospital shows many occurred when she was off duty, bolstering her defense's claim that systemic failures, not her actions, may be to blame.

Lucy Letby, once again denied an appeal, has been let down by a legal system that can't handle scientific evidence, says Timothy Bradshaw. Misleading 'expert' witnesses are treated as oracles and go unchallenged.

David Davis says he's 90% certain Lucy Letby is innocent and will campaign for a retrial. He's right to do so, says Timothy Bradshaw: the case against her is collapsing by the day.
