Lucy Letby – a young nurse – was found guilty of the murder of 7 premature babies, and the attempted murder of 7 more. A serial killer whose target was not just the youngest and most vulnerable, but those entrusted to her care. The UK legal system – amidst overwhelming public vitriol – threw the book at her. She is currently serving an unprecedented 15 whole-life sentences in prison. But, is everything as clear as it seems? Our host Amanda Knox – herself a victim of the court of public opinion – asks: if this case is really as open and shut as the world believes. Or if, there may be room for reasonable doubt as to Lucy Letby’s guilt…

  1. The Verdict

    EPISODE 1

    The Verdict

    Lucy Letby was branded Britain’s most prolific child serial killer. The headlines were instant and unanimous: guilty. Case closed...or maybe not. In the wake of her conviction, a quiet rebellion began among journalists, statisticians, and senior doctors who question whether the evidence told the full story.  Amanda Knox explores how one narrative took hold — and why another is now fighting to be heard.
