@ContrarianJolly@TomEvans80 It's still only incremental, the doctrine is not gone. It just won't be bound by previous decisions in the same case, when an 'exceptional circumstances' CCRC referral is made.
But yes Hayes was cited a lot in this judgment. Maybe finality will get a lot weaker.
@ContrarianJolly@TomEvans80 Does it change that much? This is the first case to even use the 'exceptional circumstances' provision.
Are you expecting it will encourage the CCRC to use it more?
@drpaulclarke@LeeShoo@TheSun I'm not sure, but I suspect Lee has clocked on she is a bad faith actor now, so won't engage further.
Clearly unless already invested in the idea Dr Shoo Lee is wrong, the statements can be reconciled easily, it doesn't need his input.
@ContrarianJolly The best argument might be the reason she got convicted in the first place. Multiple qualified medical professionals were willing to testify under oath to support the case with their opinions/memories.
Of course many are willing to testify to the opposite as is clear now.
@ContrarianJolly@Andrew_Cannon1@james1071 Hume could hardly object to weighing evidence.
However the examples you give seem a stretch to call evidence.
Similar to how rolling the dice and getting 2 sixes isn't evidence of a loaded dice. It's just statistical inevitability it will happen sometimes.
@ContrarianJolly@Andrew_Cannon1@james1071 You seem to have an implicit philosophical commitment to a sort of Bayesianism.
I don't think this is the only way to reason about this.
@Emilyjbronte@LucyLetbyTrials From someone, @Neil_Wilby who the Information Commissioner and Cheshire Police consider 'vexatious', so has no right to freedom of information! What a farce!

@ContrarianJolly@Neil_Wilby@ACLMoss@ccrcupdate @DebbieK66580 It seems unusual for the CCRC to make this appointment while the Letby case is still under active review, as this individual’s impartiality may reasonably be questioned.
@davidjamessmit5@Neil_Wilby But these are lies related to propositions the prosecution needs to prove, like false alibis.
Any alleged lies about handover sheets aren't that.
@davidjamessmit5@Neil_Wilby I'm not sure that is established.
But even if it is, it only goes to (in a very limited way) the weight of her testimony, surely it doesn't actually establish the facts needed to prove the case?
