In a powerful and controversial Commons adjournment debate on January 8, 2025, Sir David Davis, former Conservative Cabinet Minister, raised serious concerns about the conviction of nurse Lucy Letby. She was found guilty of murdering seven babies under her care at the Countess of Chester Hospital neonatal unit.
Sir David Davis argued that Letby's conviction was supported by insufficient and robust evidence. He called for a retrial, questioned the validity of key expert testimony, and suggested that the case may have been a miscarriage of justice.
There was a lack of MPs in the House of Commons for such an important debate, especially given the weight of the issue and the high salaries MPs receive. He also highlighted the considerable expense involved in retrieving the original trial transcripts and stressed the absence of hard evidence linking Letby to the deaths. The evidence presented was mainly circumstantial, and has she been sacrificed as the "scapegoat" for the inadequacies of the Hospital's ability to cope with vulnerable infants?
Initially, Sir David believed the media narrative surrounding Letby’s conviction. However, he revealed that his opinion changed after consulting with medical professionals and academic experts, which led him to question the legitimacy of the evidence presented in the trial. He particularly pointed to the testimony of expert witness Dr. Dewi Evans, whom he believed may have been flawed.
In this video, we explore the key points raised by Sir David Davis, the ongoing calls for a retrial, and the broader debate about the fairness of high-profile criminal cases in the UK.
