Lucy Letby was a ‘broken person’. But now has new hope, claims her lawyer
Lucy Letby’s lawyer says killer nurse has ‘hope’ amid new evidence claims
- Lucy Letby's barrister, Mark McDonald, is actively working to overturn her convictions, stating she now has "new hope" after being a "broken person".
- McDonald is submitting "new evidence" to the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) and has assembled a panel of experts to challenge the prosecution's case.
- Lawyers representing the victims' families have dismissed the defence panel's findings as "full of analytical holes" and a "rehash" of the original defence.
- McDonald aims to influence public opinion regarding a potential miscarriage of justice, believing it is crucial to "win the public narrative" before legal action.
- The police are considering further allegations related to baby deaths where Letby worked, and three senior hospital staff have been arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter.
