Lucy Letby's lawyers and a doctor have told a news conference they have 'new evidence' that 'undermines' her convictions for the murder of seven babies and attempted murder of seven others.
Lucy Letby's lawyer Mark McDonald announced he will seek permission to apply to reopen the appeal and review all her convictions.A key prosecution witness, Dr Dewi Evans, had changed his mind on the cause of the deaths of three babies, referred to as C, I and P, Mr McDonald said.Dr Evans was no longer a reliable witness because he gave 'one theory' to the jury and has not stood by it, claimed Mr McDonald.
Baby O died 'due to issues relating to the resuscitation' and Baby C died due to 'problems caused due to failing placental function at the end of the pregnancy', the statement read.Mr McDonald compared Letby to the victims of the Post Office scandal, in which hundreds of sub-postmasters who used faulty Horizon IT software were wrongly convicted for theft, fraud and false accounting.
