Letby – more information coming to light

He is as guilty as hell. A good indication of this is that Steeleye thinks he is innocent.

It would be interesting to go over the Bamber and Letby case in the light of new investigation techniques.
Bamber would be a cold case, but I gather all his Rights of Appeal have been exhausted.
Letby is more that experts have different views, which happens all the time. Why these new experts never made it to the first trial is slightly perplexing. And it takes a particular kind of expert to state absolutely there can be no dispute in the evidence and that someone is 100% guilty of murder.
Because , as a scientist/professional, you always know there's room for doubt. It's just whether that doubt is reasonable , or can be dismissed.

Reason they never made it to the first case is that the legal team, for some reason known to the, chose not to call them. That is their decision but given the nature of the technical evidence against her I would have demanded that be tested.

There was an excellent TV dramatisation of the murders and the enquiry- I remember some of the investigating officers were made to look pretty poor.
Then again it was a long time ago and the forensic tools available now are in a different league.

Wasn’t it starring Stephan Graham and Mark Addy as coppers?

Correct- White House farm. Very good series.
