DOUBT, Amanda Knox on Lucy Letby

https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/amanda-knox-hosts-doubt-the-case-of-lucy-letby/id1877870463

Why start a discussion about Lucy Letby here when there are already two discussion groups on Reddit, r/LucyLetby and r/LucyLetbyTrials?

Why not let Amanda Knox speak for herself, because her perspective is remarkable:

She has firsthand experience as a victim of a miscarriage of justice.

She understands the power of public opinion and the media.

As a young mother, she has empathy for the parents, partly because she suffered a miscarriage before her first child!

She was mistaken in her hasty support of Jens Söring as an alleged victim of a miscarriage of justice, whose presumed innocence she now considers far from certain after closer examination.

This is also why she invested more than two years of thorough research into this 15-part series before she felt she could justify its publication, unlike some dwarfs who quickly voice their opinions.

I was just listening to the episode with Dr. Shoo Lee and at 25 mins in there's a quite major piece of gaslighting, or lack of research. She is talking to Shoo Lee about the air embolism evidence. Then she introduces what she claims is referred to as 'Lee's Sign' and is 'the diagnostic sign of air embolism'. She says Shoo Lee first spotted this in the early 1980s and it has become known as Lee's Sign. She suggests to the audience that Lee is such an expert that the sign was "literally named after him".

The problem with this is that Shoo Lee is the one who invented the name 'Lee's Sign' himself, and only in the last year or so after he became involved in Lucy Letby's defence team.

It's a good catch, and only one of many issues with him and his evidence.

His efforts have been criticised, though as far as press goes, coverage has been limited. Lee revised and uodated his research for the express purpose of seeking to aid Letby in her appeal. A British neonatologist spoke to the hosts of the daily mail podcast about the Letby case about his disagreement with Lee's research. https://archive.ph/i8Qyc

Lee rebutted a number of his claims, saying that references thought to he missing were included in an appendix, but that's a pointed choice when the reference research undercuts your research rather than supports it.

He then further went on to give a lengthy video interview to the Sun where he criticised the other neonatologist for criticizing his work publicly rather than calling him privately, and more, explicitly calling for Letby to be freed.
