Fresh doubts are raised over conviction of 'killer' nurse Lucy Letby - as unearthed papers show she was off duty for third of cases
Daily Mail ^ | Feb 2 | By GLEN OWEN

Fresh doubts were raised about the conviction of 'killer' nurse Lucy Letby last night, with the bombshell revelation of police notes suggesting the jury was misled over key evidence.

The documents raise serious questions over the courtroom claim that Letby was the common link between all the suspicious incidents involving babies at the Chester hospital where she worked.

And the dramatic development comes as an expert cited by the prosecution prepares to go public to say his research was misrepresented in court.

A growing number of experts have voiced fears about the evidence against the nurse, who is serving 15 life sentences after being found guilty of murdering seven babies and trying to kill seven more at the Countess of Chester Hospital between 2015 and 2016.

An appeal has been rejected but former Cabinet Minister David Davis has called for a retrial, branding her conviction a 'clear miscarriage of justice'. In the Commons he claimed that key evidence helpful to Letby's case, is being withheld by the police and the Crown Prosecution Service.

Now the previously undisclosed police notes, obtained by the Unherd news website, reveal a discrepancy between the initial analysis of suspicious incidents at the hospital and what the Manchester Crown Court jury was told.

The papers show that when the chief prosecution witness, Dr Dewi Evans, originally looked at those 28 cases, Letby was absent for ten of them – more than a third. But the jury did not hear that.

At the trial, they were told by prosecuting counsel Nick Johnson KC that Letby was 'the one common denominator' in unexpected deaths or collapses.

In the absence of any forensic evidence or plausible motive, that statistical correlation became the key plank of the case against her.

The “Crown Prosecution Service.” Not exactly the sound of justice.

If, somehow, this conviction is reversed, and this woman has been set free, she would likely need to leave England, because of all the pretrial publicity. The close up photo of her face, next to the phrase “Baby Killer”, has been etched into the minds of the public, at least in that part of Britain. She may even be advised to undergo plastic surgery to change her looks forever.

It doesn’t get any worse than the deliberate prosecution of an innocent person.

These prosecutors should themselves be prosecuted, but in a real court, and along with many years in prison they should be forced to bear the legal name “Lowlife” for at least five years.

I don’t really know the details.
That story might have even preceded Covid, it’s been on the Brits websites for so long

Just playing Devils advocate, what if she had a partner? Still absent solid proof other than she was in the hospital for some of the deaths just doesn’t seem like enough to convict.

That door is always open. Or, should I say, that ‘trap door’ is always available.

The British gov’t socialists have been committing mass murder for decades.

Google: liverpool care pathway scandal, dailymail

Many articles. The NHS changed the name but the killing still goes on.
The hospitals here in the USA were paid to deny care for people who had the covid flu.
Money talks with some!

Hospitals bribed to put patients on pathway to death
Daily Mail
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2223286/Hospitals-bribed-patients-pathway-death-Cash-incentive-NHS-trusts-meet-targets-Liverpool-Care-Pathway.html
Oct 25, 2012 — Hospitals are paid millions to hit targets for the number of patients who die on the Liverpool Care Pathway, the Mail can reveal.

They have been murdering 120,000 people a year. You are put on a death list unknown to you. This due to your age and medical history.

If you call for help they will not show up, if someone else calls and you are picked up then you could wait in the ambulance at the hospital or on a gurney in the hall. If you have relatives come with you and are put in a room, what the staff will not tell them is the patient will not get any medical care or water.
_____________________

How long does it take to die once you are in the liverpool care pathway
It usually involves the withdrawal of nutrition and fluids and increases the amount of sedative and pain relief administered to the patient. If the Care Pathway is initiated and progressed appropriately death usually occurs within 29 hours
