Convicted Serial Baby Killer, Lucy Letby Appeal Rejected
Was this outcome ever really in doubt? Dubbed the UK’s ‘worst child serial killer‘, Lucy Letby, was convicted of 7 murders and 7 attempted murders of new borns at Manchester Crown Court in August 2023. The UK court has now rejected her application for an appeal.
Mr Law, Health and Technology writes:
While I will make a more substantial post in response to the appeal rejection as more information comes to hand, around three hours ago it was announced that the Letby appeal had been rejected by the judge.
Anyone paying attention would know that on Twitter/X, I predicted this outcome.
So, I ask, was this outcome ever really in doubt?
Given:
The almost absolute lack of led evidence presented by counsel for the defence (when:
(a) significant reliable evidence of a relevant and admissible nature that would go towards disproving Letby’s guilt existed, and
(b) the experts and witnesses tendered by the prosecution had significant conflicts of interest primarily focused on self-interest and some potentially lacked standing as ‘experts’ in the matters they were being examined on).
and…
Our inability to penetrate why this failure to litigate a defence occurred.
Independant counsel are needed to review at least two aspects:
- The development and conduct of Letby’s initial defence and appeal; and,
- The pre-trial and early trial (including voir dire) procedural background of the trial.
It is my belief that somewhere buried in these new counsel may be able to identify the reason why, by all appearances, an eminently qualified and experienced KC appeared to have had his hands tied behind his back.
Essentially…
Why some people believe he didn’t bring his A game to the fore.
What is it we arent being told?

Who is Lucy Letby? A simple leading paragraph, or even sentence, could have made the article actually intelligible to the uncool people who are so out of touch with this vital issue to mankind that they don’t even know all about Lucy!!
This is the most poorly-written piece I’ve ever seen on these pages.

Gerald, thanks for this valid criticism. An amendment has been made to provide context.
