LONDON (AP) — A lawyer for convicted British killer nurse Lucy Letby announced plans to seek a re-examination of her convictions by an appeals court following a significant development in the case. The prosecution's key expert, Dr. Dewi Evans, altered his opinion on the cause of death of three infants, prompting questions about the reliability of his testimony.
The defense attorney, Mark McDonald, revealed that fresh evidence has emerged casting doubt on Letby's convictions. McDonald asserted that Dr. Evans, who previously claimed Letby injected air down a nasal gastric tube resulting in the infants' deaths, is now considered an unreliable expert. This shift in expert opinion raises concerns about the safety of all the convictions.
