What is the main element that you say is questionable and should allow Lucy Letby to be retried?
33:54
Well, there are many strands to this, of course, but I think fundamentally, if you wanted me to point to the main one, the medical evidence that was used in court is now known to be, I think the most generous way that I could describe it, would be highly unreliable.
34:09
Um, there are other explanations available that simply fit with the clinical picture of the infants much better, and they're much more logical.
34:17
And I should emphasize as well that these come from...
34:21
That there's now 33 experts ready to speak in defense of Lucy Letby.
34:25
Um, at least 14 of th- these experts are neo- neonatologists.
34:30
There are also multiple, uh, obstetricians.

Very hard to get a hold of
24:19
Mm-hmm
24:19
Mm-hmmShe's had 10 years taken out of her life and, and everything is pointing to there being no crimes in the hospital, which is what this expert panel have said.
24:30
We found no evidence of any crimes.
24:31
We found no evidence of any murder.
24:34
There, there are medical and sort of in- inherent conditional reasons i- in the baby- Mm ... for what happened.
24:42
Mm-hmm.
24:43
That there's no, there's no malfeasance here.

After all that you've researched, do you still have any questions that you wish you had an answer to?
60:11
Yeah.
60:11
And then it came down to a half a day.
60:14
So you get a call to go photograph somebody, and they want him with the family, they want him doing this, and they want a portrait, so basically everything is a staged creation.
60:26
You j- you can't work that.
60:28
But basically what you do is you, you set your mind out and you let the person know this is a controlled portrait.
60:35
Once you start telling the person, even in documentary photography, if I'm photographing somebody and he smiles, I don't want the smile As a photojournalist, you really can't even say, "Don't s-", you can't utter the words, "Please don't smile." You're now doing portraiture.
60:53
But there's other ways to get him not to smile.

Yeah.
13:44
Mm-hmm
13:44
... um, and tried to use this against her.
13:47
And this included a note that was presented in court as being a confession note.
13:52
Now, that was, I'd say, the most important thing for me, because I'm a writer and I, it's my job to understand and analyze language.
14:00
So when I was back in the kitchen on the day I heard about this, I heard about this n- I, I thought, "Right, I haven't heard any good evidence, so I'll go away and start looking for it." So very early on, I saw this note, this confession note, which is, it's not a letter.
14:15
It's just some scribbled writing on a green Post-It note.
14:19
And, and I looked at it, and I was like, "There's no chance.
17:28
Mm-hmm.

Mm.
18:31
And Dr. Lee, the Lee sign, uh, is used as a, as...
18:36
That's a diagnostic sign of air embolism.
18:38
That's named after Dr. Lee because he discovered it, and he just simply said, "Well, none of these cases are, are the Lee sign." No- And that is the only diagnostic sign of air, air embolism in terms of discoloration.
18:49
So an- anyway, to return to what I was going to say about Dr. Lee, he inter- You talked about him driving a horse and, horse and cart through the evidence, um, or through, through the cases.
19:00
Uh, he said to me, he exa- He's seen the n- medical notes.
19:03
He said to me, "There are multiple errors for every case." It's just basic...
