Professor claims police focus distracts from Letby's innocence evidence

Lucy Letby's case has seen new developments as police expand their investigation to include potential corporate and gross negligence manslaughter charges against staff at Countess of Chester Hospital. This follows concerns about a possible miscarriage of justice regarding Letby's convictions. Professor Richard Gill, an expert in statistical misrepresentation, claims the police's focus on hospital staff is a distraction from evidence that could prove Letby's innocence. He argues that changes in hospital admission policies may explain the rise in infant deaths. Letby is currently serving 15 life sentences for murdering seven babies and attempting to kill seven others. Her legal team is gathering expert evidence to challenge her convictions, while the Thirlwall Inquiry continues to examine the circumstances surrounding the deaths.
