I’m the Expert Who Helped Nailing Lucy Letby – Here Are Eight Reasons Why She’s Guilty
A former Supreme Court judge has recently voiced his opinion regarding the conviction of Lucy Letby, a nurse found guilty of murdering seven infants under her care. Jonathan Sumption argues that Letby’s conviction was based on circumstantial evidence rather than concrete proof.
Lord Sumption, speaking from the Supreme Court in London, stated, “The fundamental issue is that there was no direct evidence linking Letby to the crimes. The prosecution’s case relied entirely on inferences drawn from circumstantial evidence.” He elaborated that the prosecution presented a narrative of an alarming increase in infant mortality rates at the hospital, highlighting that fatalities rose from a typical two to four annual deaths to a staggering 17 over a 13-month span in 2015 and 2016.
According to Sumption, Letby’s victims appeared to be stable and healthy until they experienced sudden and catastrophic collapses that could not be attributed to natural causes. He proceeded to criticize various “speculative” allegations made against her by the prosecution.
He outlined that, “The prosecution claimed Letby employed one of five methods to carry out these heinous acts. In the largest group of cases—six out of fourteen—she was accused of injecting air into the veins of the infants, leading to fatal air embolisms. In three instances, she allegedly forced air into their stomachs via a nasogastric tube. In two cases, it was claimed she poisoned the infants by adding insulin to their intravenous fluid bags. Additionally, she was accused of attempting to fatally overfeed one infant with milk, inflicting throat trauma on another, and dislodging feeding tubes, all without success.”
This revelation follows criticism from the parents of the victims who have condemned the “misinformed circus” surrounding Letby’s supporters. The mother of Baby C, a premature boy who was murdered through an injection of air, expressed her dismay, stating, “The media PR campaign aimed at gaining public sympathy for Letby reveals a profound misunderstanding of her crimes and the intricacies of the case.”
Last week, The Sun reported insights from Letby’s own parents, Jonathan, 79, and Susan Letby, 65, regarding their daughter’s case. Among the growing list of supporters advocating for Letby’s innocence is Professor Richard Gill, a statistical misrepresentation consultant. He has been calling for a retrial and was even seen protesting outside Liverpool Town Hall during a recent inquiry.
Professor Gill has a track record of assisting in the exoneration of medical professionals wrongfully accused of patient murders, including Dutch nurse Lucia de Berk and Italian nurse Daniela Poggiali. In correspondence shared with The Sun, he mentioned, “I wrote to her parents and received a touching reply. They sent back a formal letter, along with a more personal note acknowledging my efforts.”
In one of his letters, which was reviewed by The Sun, Letby’s parents expressed their unwavering belief that her convictions could represent “the most significant miscarriage of justice in British history.” They conveyed gratitude to Professor Gill for his support and expressed hope that “public opinion is beginning to sway” in her favor.
Professor Gill, who asserts he can demonstrate Letby’s innocence, also requested a phone conversation with her parents to discuss further aspects related to the case.
Timeline of Horror: How Letby Targeted Babies
Lucy Letby executed her horrific acts over a year-long period at the Countess of Chester Hospital. During her time on the neonatal ward, she reportedly used insulin and air to harm vulnerable newborns. The sudden collapses and tragic deaths of these infants were not merely “naturally occurring tragedies,” but rather the calculated actions of a “poisoner,” as described by investigators.
The shocking reality of Letby’s actions came to light when hospital staff began noticing a “significant rise” in the number of babies either dying or suffering catastrophic health crises. Investigators identified Letby as the “common denominator” in these disturbing events. A search of her three-bedroom home in Chester uncovered a chilling trove of evidence, including haunting diary entries and notes. One particularly harrowing note read, “I am evil; I did this.” She also wrote, “I don’t deserve to live. I killed them on purpose because I’m not good enough to care for them. I am a horrible person.”
An ongoing investigation is looking into whether Letby harmed any additional infants at both the Countess of Chester Hospital and Liverpool Women’s Hospital. Furthermore, a corporate manslaughter inquiry is underway, alongside a gross negligence manslaughter investigation.
Despite his outreach efforts, Professor Gill stated he has not received a response from Letby’s parents. He remarked, “I understand they prefer to avoid publicity and often receive unwelcome attention. However, it could benefit Lucy’s case if they engaged with sympathetic journalists to discuss the potential miscarriage of justice.”
Professor Gill has been vocal in his criticism of Cheshire Police after they announced that staff members at Letby’s former hospital might face corporate manslaughter charges, amid rising concerns that she may have been wrongfully convicted. He commented, “The police’s current investigation appears to be a diversionary tactic.”
He continued, “NHS statistics indicate that the increased mortality rates can be entirely explained by changes in admission policies. I believe this is a tactic by the police that will ultimately backfire.” Footage released by law enforcement shows the moment Letby was apprehended, marking a significant point in this troubling case.
