October 25, 2024

Lucy Letby has been refused permission to appeal against a conviction for attempting to murder a baby girl, as judges ruled she was able to have a fair trial.

- Josh Halliday

The former nurse, who is serving 14 whole-life prison terms, had sought to overturn the conviction on the basis that she had been subjected to "unadulterated vitriol" in the media before the trial.

But senior judges dismissed her legal challenge after a hearing at the court of appeal in London yesterday.

Letby, now 34, gave no reaction to the judges' ruling, listening via video link from HMP Bronzefield, a women's prison in Surrey.

Her new barrister, Mark McDonald, is preparing to ask for a wide-ranging review of the convictions by the Criminal Cases Review Commission.
