Lucy Letby is a child killer. Last year she was convicted of murdering seven babies and trying to murder six more while working as a neo-natal nurse at the Countess of Chester Hospital, in the NW of England and was sentenced to spend her life in jail.
She also went back in court to face a retrial on one charge the jury could not reach a verdict on - the alleged Attempted Murder of a premature baby girl, known as Baby K. She was found guilty once again.

Baby K: Guilty Again
In this episode Caroline and Liz have the guilty verdict.
It took the jury in Manchester just over three hours to decide that Lucy Letby did try to murder a tiny premature baby known only as Baby K. They believed the doctor who said he caught Lucy Letby virtually red-handed as the baby started to collapse after her breathing tube was dislodged.

Baby K: Questioned on Camera
In this episode Caroline and Liz have seen, for the first time, the videos of Lucy Letby facing questions from detectives.
In three separate video clips shown to the jury, Lucy Letby denied dislodging Baby K’s breathing tube and she said she could not remember Baby K collapsing.
She also told officers the unit could not cope with the number of babies and Baby K was so premature she would have needed one to one care.

Baby K: The Key Witness
In this episode Caroline and Liz have the evidence of Dr Ravi Jayaram who told the jury he caught Lucy Letby “virtually red handed” as she allegedly attempted to kill Baby K. He says he walked into Nursery 1 to find the baby collapsing, but the alarms on the ventilator were not sounding and Lucy Letby was standing nearby doing nothing. He said today that he didn’t call the police because he feared retribution from hospital managers.
The jury have already been told that Dr Jayaram is the key witness in the case and their verdict will ultimately depend on whether they believe him or not.

Customer Reviews
The Hounding of Lucy.
Once again, we start from the precept that “Lucy Letby murdered Babies’. Straight ‘off the Bat’ - no equivocation, no ‘doubt’ - despite there being, once again, only flimsy ‘circumstantial evidence’ to attempt to ‘prove’ Lucy’s far - from - provable ‘guilt’. Amazing. Then, we don’t get to actually hear ‘the REAL Lucy’ speak / due to Judge Goss ‘imposing’ reportage restrictions on the Public Transmission of this Daily Mail Podcast. ( BTW - a similar situation will obtain in the Autumnal Thirlwall Inquiry - when no Live Streaming of the Inquiry “will be countenanced” we learn. This, DESPITE / IN SPITE OF THE BABIES’ PARENTS REQUESTING (IT
) BE TRANSMITTED. Is this in the Public Spirit of Transparency ? …..Hmmm. Don’t see how. Lucy : 🌟🌟🌟 … “sparkling” … 🧑🎓🎓🥤🐈⬛🐈⬛🦋🦋🙂👍… Good Luck for and to you, Lucy today and tomorrow in Manchester.
Court reporters are not court stenographers.
Liz Hull and Caroline Cheetham had a chance to make a journalistic mark here, but they have long since abandoned any pretence of journalistic integrity with this case. At a time when two UK newspapers of record, at opposite ends of the political spectrum (The Guardian and The Telegraph ) have published bombshell articles about this case, and an avalanche of leading experts in relevant fields have come out to criticise the egregiousness of the ‘evidence’, Liz Hull and Caroline Cheetham continue to utilise absolutely zero journalistic integrity or skill. Sorry, but this is weak journalism and it will age like milk.
Is there parts I’m missing?
I’ve listened to this podcast for a while and started listening again after the more recent developments.
Before listening I was convinced she did it - 100% so I then decided to listen to this podcast to further confirm my original thoughts but it did the opposite.
If I was part of the jury I would have found it very difficult to find her guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
Do I think she still did it? probably, but I’m now no longer completely convinced.
