The Trial & Conviction of Serial Killer Lucy Letby

from Blethered

Published ahead of the Netflix documentary on the Lucy Letby case, available to stream from February 4th. I'm joined by lawyer and registered midwife Jaimie McGready to discuss the trial and conviction of serial killer Lucy Letby.Letby was recently convicted of the murder of six newborn babies, and the attempted murder of seven more, in what was the longest murder trial in British legal history.We reflect on the evidence that led to her conviction and receipt of a full life order, meaning she’ll die behind bars.Jaimie and I also discuss the death penalty, the 'morality' of criminal defence lawyers and where the responsibility lies for hospital management staff's failure to act, after repeated warnings about Letby.And as always, there's plenty more.Contact: [email protected]: https://twitter.com/seanmcdonald01Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/seantmcdonald/Hosted on Acast.
