A panel of 14 neonatal and pediatric specialists has expressed serious concerns regarding the conviction of Lucy Letby, who was found guilty of murdering seven babies. Led by Dr. Shoo Lee, the specialists conducted a thorough review and found no evidence of wrongdoing by Letby, highlighting medical errors and chronic inadequacies in neonatal care practices. Their conclusions assert that several deaths were preventable and that the infants had serious pre-existing issues. This independent review, conducted by respected professionals, casts doubt on the integrity of the trial's evidence.
Dr. Shoo Lee, chair of the panel, stated, 'Our conclusion was there was no medical evidence to support malfeasance causing injury in any of the 17 cases in the trial.'
The panel's findings pointed to 'serious errors in medical care at the unit' and indicated that 'some of the deaths had been preventable.'
Dr. Lee emphasized, 'We did not find any murders,' highlighting the serious pre-existing conditions of the infants involved.
The independent review was significant as it involved prestigious neonatal and pediatric specialists who assessed all available medical records and delivered their conclusions pro bono.
