So, now we’re back for part two of the fascinating and disturbing case of convicted child killer Lucy Letby. Since part one, we’ve reviewed interviews with her accusers, her defenders, scientific experts, and nurses who either worked in neonatal units, in the Countess of Chester neonatal unit, or worked directly with Lucy Letby. We’ve also read through the available evidence and testimony from her trial.
Join us at the quiet end for Lucy Letby: The Common Denominator Part Two. Today, we are going to talk you through Letby’s trials and what has been going on since her convictions. Dick’s been doing his homework, too, and he will share his interpretations of the statistical and medical evidence, outcomes, and published opinions surrounding the case.
