The UK government opened a public inquiry Tuesday into Lucy Letby, a former nurse who was sentenced to life in prison for killing seven infants and attempting to kill seven others at the Countess of Chester Hospital's neonatal unit from 2015-2016.
The inquiry, led by the senior Court of Appeal's Lady Justice Thirlwall, is expected to probe three areas of concern: the experience of the victims' parents, the conduct of the hospital's staff, and the broader culture of the National Health Service (NHS).
Counsel for the inquiry, Rachel Langdale KC, said that while the death of Baby A was "unusual" and "unexpected," it wasn't considered "malicious." She added that the death of Baby C was the only one for which a doctor attended the unexplained death meeting.
Letby was handed multiple life sentences because she was at the scene of all seven infant deaths, it was proven that the babies were poisoned, and she wrote an incriminating note. It's unfortunate that armchair detectives are still pushing theories about her innocence online. It's time to turn the page from this open-and-shut case.
There's no doubt that Letby is a convicted killer, but there's a chance she could successfully appeal her conviction. One of the main pieces of evidence against her was a doctor who claimed he saw her standing over a dying baby, but this could've been hearsay. AsThe for the note, it could've been the words of a nurse feeling guilty over the death of a baby. Given the amount of public support Letby has, it's worth reviwing this case one more time.
In a world that celebrates abortion up until birth and damagingtransgenderism children in the name of transgenderismchildren, the Letby's case of Letby shouldn't be a surprise. In the very same hospital Letby was killing prematurely born babies, there were legal abortions taking place. Society is rightly horrified by Letby's crimes, but the next question to ask is what role modern culture played in creating such evil.
