Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Lucy Letby" in English language version.
[ Laura Farris ] In the past year or two, several high-profile murderers—Thomas Cashman, Jordan McSweeney, and most recently Lucy Letby—have refused to attend their sentencing hearings, causing the victims' families significant further distress. This can be seen as the final insult, and it is also the coward's approach, affronting the victims one last time by robbing their families of a chance to look them in the eye as the judge determines their fate. The worst offenders should be required to face the consequence of their actions, and hear society's condemnation expressed through the sentencing remarks of the judge. Indeed, it is with those words ringing in their ears that they should hear the prison door clang shut.
Yesterday, The New Yorker published a 13,000-word inquiry into the Lucy Letby trial, which raised enormous concerns about both the logic and the competence of the statistical evidence that was a central part of the trial. The article was blocked from publication on the UK internet, I understand because of a court order. I am sure that court order was well intended, but it seems to me that it is in defiance of open justice. Will the Lord Chancellor look into this matter and report back to the House?
In August 2024, Evans withdrew his evidence on murder by splinting in a signed statement to Channel 5 declaring: "None of the babies were killed as a direct result of the injection of air, or fluid and air deliberately injected into their stomachs."
Dr Shoo Lee: "Air embolism should never be diagnosed by exclusion. The rash she [Dr Bohin] described is not diagnostic of air embolism. Air embolism is very specific."
Dr Lee said experts were wrong to conclude that skin mottling was indicative of air embolism, warning that such discoloration was generic and could have been caused by a circulatory collapse.
I think if someone is innocent and they are in jail, they should be let out as soon as possible. It is wrong to keep someone in jail who hasn't done a crime. That is just common sense. But I also understand there is a [legal] process. If they tell me it takes 15 years to get to appeal, that is too long. She has already spent several years in jail. It would seem reasonable [to release her]. There is [the option] of house arrest.
