Letby's victims and parents at heart of Inquiry, chair says
Lady Justice Thirlwall says the babies who died at the hands of Lucy Letby are at the 'heart' of the public inquiry into the Countess of Chester Hospital.
Speaking on the opening day, the inquiry chair also says that while doubt has been cast on Letby's convictions, the Court of Appeal had reviewed them with a 'clear result'.

Lucy Letby’s legal team has said the lead prosecution expert has “now changed his mind” on the cause of death of three babies, meaning her conviction should be reviewed. Lucy Letby’s Barrister, Mark McDonald, said the defence would seek permission to “take the exceptional but necessary decision to apply to reopen the appeal of Lucy Letby and immediately review all her convictions”.
