Former British Conservative government minister Sir David Davis MP is campaigning for justice in the case of Lucy Letby. Yesterday he said that since the 1970s there have been 500 miscarriages of justice in the English courts.
Below is from the RTÉ website:
Bad medical care and natural causes led to the deaths of babies said to have been harmed by British nurse Lucy Letby, a panel of international medical experts has concluded.
The team of 14 neonatologists and paediatric specialists said it "did not find any murders" after presenting its "impartial evidence-based report".
Letby, 35, from Hereford, is serving 15 whole-life sentences after she was convicted at Manchester Crown Court of murdering seven infants and attempting to murder seven others, with two attempts on one of her victims, between June 2015 and June 2016.
Chairman Dr Shoo Lee told reporters at a two-hour news conference in London that the panel had detected a number of medical problems at the Countess of Chester Hospital during the relevant period.
These included, he said, poor skills in resuscitation and inserting breathing tubes, a lack of understanding of some basic procedures, along with misdiagnoses and unsafe delays in treatment of acutely poorly babies.
