“A half-dozen pediatric doctors and toxicology experts said on Thursday that jurors were misled by prosecutors who cited unreliable and misrepresented insulin tests during the trial of Lucy Letby, a nurse convicted of murdering seven babies at a British hospital. The doctors made their assertions in a new report that Ms. Letby’s lawyer submitted to Britain’s Criminal Cases Review Commission, which is responsible for investigating possible miscarriages of justice, in the hopes of being allowed to pursue a full appeal of her 15 life sentences. Ms. Letby, who worked as a nurse in a neonatal unit at a hospital in northern England, was found guilty in 2023 of deliberately harming — and in seven cases, murdering — babies by injecting them with air, overfeeding them with milk, infusing air into their gastrointestinal tracts or poisoning them with insulin.” (04/03/25)
