Lucy Letby medical experts did not murder the children

Lucy Letby medical experts did not murder the children

A neonatal doctor whose examinations were used to help the conviction of the British nurse Lucy Letby for the death of seven children, says that he thinks that infants have not been murdered.

35 -year -old Letby is currently taking 15 life sentences for a dismissal, after he was found guilty of the murder of seven newborns and attempts to murder seven, in the English hospital in 2015 and 2016.

The loud case made her the worst serial killer in the country, but Letby always maintained her innocence.

At a press conference on Tuesday, the retired Canadian neonatologist Dr. Shoo Lee said that a group of 14 doctors said that newborns died for natural reasons or because of poor medical care.

Dr. Lee said that his own research, which was cited during Letby’s trial, was incorrectly used.

Instead, the group questioned that the prosecutor’s argument, that many children died from Letby after injected the air into their bloodstream.

“To sum up, ladies and gentlemen, we didn’t find murders,” said Dr. Lee.

“In all cases, death or injuries were caused by natural causes or simply bad medical care.”

“Lack of evidence” of congestion

Last year, the legal team of Letby launched two offers to question her beliefs that were repealed.

After Tuesday’s press conference, Letby lawyers began a fresh offer to overthrow their belief in Great Britain in the Commission for Review of Criminal Affairs.

Defense lawyer Mark McDonald said that now there is “overwhelming evidence” that Letby has been wrongly convicted.

“If (experts) are right, no crimes have been committed.”

During the trial, the prosecutor’s office said that the lit one left a small trace when she killed the children.

In some cases, they claimed, injected the air into the bloodstream or stomach, causing embolism.

Dr. Dewi Evans, a leading expert of the prosecutor’s office, diagnosed children with air embolism in the absence of another cause of death, said Dr. Lee.

But Dr. Lee said that the embolism is very rare, and the skin discoloration described in the study was not in line with this diagnosis.

“The concept that these children can be diagnosed with air embolism because they have fallen and had these skin discolorations, there is actually no evidence,” he said.
