Lucy Letby's legal team to ask Court of Appeal for review after expert witness 'changes his mind on the cause of death of three babies'

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Killer nurse Lucy Letby’s legal team has said they will be asking the Court of Appeal to immediately review all of her convictions because an expert witness “has now changed his mind on the cause of death of three babies”.

The disgraced nurse is serving a rare whole-life sentence for murdering seven babies and trying to kill seven others while working as a neo-natal nurse at the Countess of Chester Hospital.

Speaking at a press conference in London on Monday, barrister Mark McDonald said: “The primary grounds of appeal at the previous hearings related to the admissibility before the jury of the evidence of the lead prosecution expert Dr Dewi Evans. “The defence argued twice at trial that Dr Evans’ evidence should be disregarded.

This was refused by the trial judge. “It was then later argued in the Court of Appeal, and was refused in the court of appeal. “Remarkably, Dr Evans has now changed his mind on the cause of death of three of the babies: Baby C, Baby I and Baby P.” This is a breaking news story.
