The Spin

Government-critical narrative

The evidence against Letby is fundamentally flawed and based on disputed medical theories rather than solid forensic proof. McDonald's international expert panel has systematically dismantled the prosecution's case, showing the insulin tests were unreliable and the statistical analysis was wrong. The hospital documents prove Letby was actually a whistleblower trying to improve patient care, not a killer.

Pro-government narrative

While lawyers will always throw claims out to discredit police work, Letby's guilt has been tested by two juries and two sets of appeal judges after a six-year probe involving 70 officers, 32,000 documents and expert testimony. The police insist no stone was left unturned, and the families' suffering should not be dismissed by speculative reports conducted by biased panels.
