LUCY LETBY CASE: PART 21
Media conflicts
“WE DO not say that Ms Letby is innocent. What we do say is that there is now so much doubt, the Criminal Cases Review Commission should urgently refer the matter to the Court of Appeal.”
So proclaimed a Mail on Sunday leader on 4 May, alongside a long opinion piece from David Davis MP, who explains how he changed his mind about Letby: “Bogus statistical arguments have been exposed [see last Eye]. Weak expert evidence has come under irresistible pressure. And a picture has emerged of a unit with poor medical management that very probably contributed to, or even caused, the deaths of a number of these babies [Eyes passim]… I concluded some time ago that Lucy Letby is almost certainly innocent. A large proportion of the country is now coming to the same conclusion.”
