Episode Eight: John Sweeney and Edward Abel Smith are joined by Cleuci De Oliveira for a question and answer session on everything related to the trials of Lucy Letby. But this episode starts with yet another astonishing revelation about one of the four consultants who were Lucy Letby’s primary accusers.

Today, on February 4th, 2025, we have heard the first complete report by the international panel of medical experts gathered by Lucy Letby's legal team under the guidence of Dr. Shoo Lee. The report summary was presented in London at a press conference hosted by Sir David Davis, the senior Conservative party MP who has raised questions about the case and declared his certainty that this is a miscarriage of justice.

The 14 member panel which includes world renowned experts in neonatology and pediatric medicine was established to asses the case notes of the 17 babies that formed Lucy Letby's two trials. Their conclusion and summary of the medical evidence is crystal clear, they can find no evidence of murder or attempted murder. Dr. Lee and the panel can however find countless examples across the case files of failures in medical care and, chronically sick babies collapsing and dying of natural causes. The experts conclusions stand in stark contrast to Dr. Evans' evidence for the prosecution.

In light of this report we felt it was important to hear Dr. Dewi Evan’s interview with John and Ed in full.

Unreliable Witness? As questions rise about the credibility of the Crown’s star expert witness, Dr Dewi Evans, in this episode co-hosts John Sweeney and Edward Abel Smith go back in time to a 34-year-old scandal when a boy suffering a treatable disease died wholly unnecessarily in his hospital. The evidence pointed to GPs being negligent and forging medical notes. Dr Evans stands accused of taking part in a cover-up. If so, Dr Evans may be a key player in not one terrible miscarriage of justice, but two.
