Somebody please tell me like I'm five, how did the defence not know that air remains in the heart post mortem so can be evidenced, so the evidence WASN'T THERE for the diagnosis of air embolism ????????
How hard was it - took me a few minutes !!!
The clinical, pathological & forensic evidence for any of the specific causes of collapse or death Letby was convicted of causing ranges from very poor to non-existent. There is no evidence for the main cause of death, venous air embolism. @ccrcupdate

Now that's what I call a documentary! #LucyLetby
I hope the AI data centres have got sufficient coolant water in for the assistance that is going to be required by the few remaining pitchforkers who will be composing their increasingly desperate 'articles' in response!
One of the most important documentaries in British history will be released on @channel5_tv at 10pm this evening. It has been produced in collaboration with @TheSun newspaper, with @RPattTheSun centrally involved.
Lucy Letby: Scapegoat examines the crumbling conviction of Lucy Letby, uncovering critical new evidence which points to this being a wrongful conviction of an innocent woman.
Shocking new evidence points to a cover-up at the hospital where Lucy Letby worked.
Followers of mine will know that, often against the opinion of my viewers, I have always said that I must assume the consultants acted in good faith, and that there was no deliberate stitch-up.
I will be reviewing that opinion over the next 24 hours.
My review of this documentary will follow on my Lucy Letby Analysis YouTube channel on Tuesday morning.

You don't know me, but you mentioned me on your conversation with Christopher Morris. I'm Carl Bolton, I convene Countess of Chester Family Voices. Respect for engaging with this seriously rather than as a spectacle, genuinely, that's rarer than it should be.
A couple of corrections first. "Quite pro" is about as wrong as it gets: GMB was the first time I'd ever been on television in my life, live or otherwise. I've done one more appearance since, not several.
On the rest: Lucy Letby was the best nurse on that ward in our experience, and yes, she saved my daughter's life twice, according to the hospital and the unit lead, that's not something I've said lightly or built up. But I make no claim on her guilt or innocence over what she was convicted of, I question the fairness of the process, investigation, and trial.
The bit I actually want an answer on is "often used in these circumstances." Used by whom, for what? Reading between the lines it sounds like you're suggesting I'm being put forward to push a narrative. If that's the implication, I'd like to know where it comes from, because nobody puts me on television, I was asked, and the same producer asks me back, and someone on their first ever TV appearance a few months ago isn't anyone's seasoned operator.
What I'm actually chasing is a full independent review of maternity and neonatal care at the Countess going back about 25 years, Nottingham-style, since Thirlwall only covers one indictment and Amos skipped the Countess entirely. You chaired an independent commission yourself and got its findings to actually shape policy, that's the bit I'd value your take on. Open to a conversation if you're willing.

@rob_goudie Very well argued! It is indeed the thin edge of a very dangerous wedge - my heart goes out to the poor nurses on the wards these days; as if their job isn’t hard enough they are now at the mercy of exactly what happened to the innocent Lucy Letby- i.e being scapegoated
If deliberate serial offending by nurses occurs only on the order of once in several million nurse-years, are these recommendations a proportionate response, given "good faith" suspicion on the part of any clinician?
What if a nurse is never seen harming a child, but that suspicion is still acted on, and the police are called?
Exactly as happened in the case of #LucyLetby?
The Inquiry acknowledges that such offending is "very rare", but - as happened in the Letby case - its proposed protocol contains no corresponding base-rate or false-positive safeguard.
Instead, once a "good-faith" suspicion of deliberate harm is raised, immediate action is required and removal of the suspected clinician is envisaged as the likely first step. Thirlwall explicitly states that "there is no evidential requirement before action is taken."
The danger is clear cut: when the prior probability is exceptionally low, ambiguous behaviour can be misinterpreted if a suspicion has been formed.
And that assumption can become the lens through which every subsequent action by the nurse is seen to reinforce the suspicion.
Yet what happened when the International Panel of Experts looked at the medical notes that had formed the basis of Letby's convictions after the trial?
It found no medical evidence of deliberate harm in respect of any of the 17 babies reviewed. Rather, its assessment was that the outcomes observed were fully explained by natural disease, complications, prematurity, deficiencies or errors in medical care: not murder or attempted murder in a single case.
If the Letby case has taught us anything, it is that in the complete absence of evidence, suspicion is a bridge too far.
Remember . There is no objective evidence that Lucy Letby ever harmed anybody. Yet she has beenm senmtendced to a slow death after a questionable trial, and many in our establishment don't mind. God bless her friends for standing by her.
Nadine Dorries is very clear in her opinion that Lucy Letby's convictions are probably the worst miscarriage of justice this country has ever seen. She is absolutely correct.
#LucyLetby
It should be remembered that the whole Thirlwall Inquiry has been predicated on the absolute premise that Lucy Letby's trial came to the correct conclusion about her guilt, a premise that is now subject to very serious challenge.
As a result, it does not allow for the alternative explanation for the deaths, namely drastically inadequate care, major failures of infection control, and avoidable errors by medical staff. There is significant evidence for these alternative explanations, including some exposed by the Inquiry itself.
As a result, the Inquiry's recommendations do not properly address the need to prevent these systematic failures from happening again.
It is to be hoped that the government will act on the conclusions of the Ockenden and Amos reports across the whole NHS to deal with what is now a recurring and systemic series of failures that jeopardise the lives of babies in a number of hospitals throughout the country.

Leaving Old Trafford at midnight and just saw this for the first time. Chas Banks, a local lad who died in ‘24, did so much to help disabled MUFC fans. His wife Shirley unveiled this a few weeks back. Chas would have enjoyed that tonight
#NHS healthcare unions have remained silent on the frame-up conviction of Lucy Letby. But this silence only makes it so much more difficult for other nurses and healthcare workers to speak up when they see something is wrong and this has a direct impact on patient care. These union really need to join this fight!

@SalfordMe2023 It’s sickening to see decent people who are trying to save lives as volunteers being targeted as a result of fascists and racists- what a fucking country we live in at the moment
