A medical examination of evidence on attacks against babies at the Countess of Chester has been discussed at a press conference
A panel of 14 neonatal experts 'did not find murders' as they examined the Lucy Letby case, it has been claimed. The 35-year-old’s legal team is continuing to pursue attempts to challenge her convictions for the murders of seven babies and the attempted murders of seven others at Manchester Crown Court.
The medic also spoke of delays in treatment of acutely poorly babies, poor medical skills in certain procedures, poor supervision of more junior medics, a lack of understanding of some basic procedures, poor management of common medical conditions and lack of knowledge about commonly used equipment in the hospital unit.
Dr Lee co-authored a 1989 academic paper on air embolism in babies. He presented the findings of a panel of 14 experts who said they had compiled an ‘impartial evidence-based report’. Dr Lee said he has recently updated his academic paper and found no cases of skin discolouration linked to air embolism by the venous system. Letby’s case will be reviewed by the Criminal Cases Review Commission , which investigates potential miscarriages of justice, after Letby’s lawyers made an application to the body on Monday.
“It is for the CCRC to find, investigate and if appropriate, refer potential miscarriages of justice to the appellate courts when new evidence or new argument means there is a real possibility that a conviction will not be upheld, or a sentence reduced. At this stage it is not possible to determine how long it will take to review this application. A significant volume of complicated evidence was presented to the court in Ms Letby’s trials.
