E103 The Fifth Court - Lucy Letby Case and the role of 'expert witnesses'

E103 The Lucy Letby Case and the role of 'expert witnesses'


Mark Tottenham BL and Peter Leonard BL discuss some complex legal issues around this difficult case that has made international headlines.


The Lucy Letby legal case involved a neonatal nurse convicted of the murder of seven infants and the attempted murder of six others at a UK hospital between 2015 and 2016. The case raised significant issues about patient safety, workplace accountability, and the failure of hospital management to act on early warnings from medical staff. Concerns were reportedly dismissed or ignored, allowing Letby to continue working. The trial highlighted the need for stronger systems to address whistleblower concerns and improve oversight in healthcare settings, as well as the psychological and procedural challenges in prosecuting complex cases of this nature.

Mark recommends the book, 'Unmasking Lucy Letby: The Untold Story of the Killer Nurse by Judith Moritz, Jonathan Coffey
