As the retrial of Lucy Letby in relation to one of the ‘no verdict’ counts gets underway in Manchester, is it possible the case will soon be revealed as one of the worst miscarriages of justice in British legal history? #lucyletby

One thing I find hard to understand about the anti-Letby side is why they would not want an appeal if they were wrongly convicted. They don't KNOW she committed these crimes, only that she was convicted of them. Miscarriages sadly happen all too frequently

A submission has to be made quickly to the CCRC (probably by a new legal team so it can invoke ineffectiveness of the old team), then massive public pressure (which will come when reporting restrictions are lifted) put on it to fast track a referral back to the Court of Appeal.
