Lucy Letby's legal team will ask the Court of Appeal to review all of her convictions because an expert witness 'has now changed his mind on the cause of death of three babies'.
LISTEN: Lucy Letby 's legal team have claimed they have 'new evidence' that 'significantly' undermines her convictions after an expert 'changed his mind' on how three of the babies died.
'This is because an expert witness, Dr Dewi Evans, has 'now changed his mind on the cause of death of three babies', referred to as C, I and P,' he said at a press conference. Lucy Letby 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
Mr McDonald continued: 'Dr Evans had said to the jury that Lucy Letby had injected air down a nasal gastric tube and this had led to the death of the three babies. Letby was refused permission to appeal in October for a conviction of the attempted murder of a baby girl. She was previously denied permission to appeal against her murder convictions.
