We've spent years covering the Lucy Letby case - here’s why experts are still arguing about it
One can be witnessed every day in Liverpool at the public inquiry into her case. Here, the matter of Letby’s guilt is settled. The question for the judge is why Letby was able to harm babies for so long.
In the other universe, doubts about the evidence used to convict her have been mounting. Leading statisticians and medical experts are arguing Letby may be the victim of a miscarriage of justice.
It is a surreal state of affairs: a legal system that has decided Letby is a serial killer - and a debate outside that questions her guilt.
As journalists we have been covering the Lucy Letby case for years - through two trials, an appeals process, an ongoing public inquiry and the growing controversy over her conviction. We have written a book together and made two Panorama films about the case - the latest of which airs on Monday with new information, and hears from both leading critics and the prosecution experts now under fire.
Letby is officially the most prolific child killer of modern times - convicted of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder seven others. And yet her case divides opinion.
