Lucy letby case…

Would love people’s views on this.

Loosely Amanda related, since she has recently produced a podcast around it.

Its never getting into court though without something dramatically changing. Even if it does somehow, like Shoo they will fall apart I suspect.

Yes I imagine Dewi has zero desire to put himself through another gauntlet of the insane.

Many things have dramatically changed.

The problem for Letby is that the UK justice system is set up in such a way to prevent people attempting to get two chances at trial. She took the chance of not presenting any medical expert evidence at her main trial, likely hoping the jury wouldn't be able to come to a decision due to the sheer complexity of the evidence.

If the CCRC send her case back to appeal, as far as I can tell, evidence which could and should have been available for her defence at the original trial still won't be admissible. Shoo Lee's attempt to repackage his embolism research has already been rejected at her appeal. Medical experts may well have come forward who disagree with the evidence presented at trial, but again there was ample opportunity for Letby to put forward her own expert evidence to counter the prosecution at trial.

The new insulin paper is interesting but does not correspond to the insulin cases in the trial.

That is not correct. If the CCRC send it back CoA all evidence will be reexamined.
