John Sweeney
John Sweeney and Edward Abel Smith investigate the conviction of former neonatal nurse Lucy Letby and ask if she is innocent, in fact, was there ever a crime?
...
This is Episond 6: The framing of Lucy Letby, the last episode in our series. In this episode hosts John Sweeney and Edward Abel Smith tell the story of how neonatal consultant Dr B accidentally killed a baby at the Countess of Chester Hospital and how the jury never knew. Former NHS doctor Phil Hammond then sets out why he believes that a horrible hospital is a far better explanation for the tragic loss of babies than a serial killer nurse.

Episode 5: Bad Science
In Episode 5, Bad Science, we interview statistician John O’Quigley and neonatologist Colin Morley who have great doubts about the science behind the convictions against Lucy Letby. The two professors back up their logic with their own research papers - unlike the Crown’s star expert witness, Dr Dewi Evans.

Episode 4: Star Witness
In this episode Dr Dewi Evans gives his last interview on his conviction that Lucy Letby is a murderer, his view that critics, especially statisticians, are wrong and are often senior males who see Letby as a damsel in distress. We will be dealing with the issues raised by Dr Evans in the next episode. John Sweeney and Ed Abel Smith also discover that the one of the four consultants who accused Lucy Letby led, by improper care, to the death of a baby. And that is something the jurors who convicted Lucy Letby never knew.

Episode 3: Enter Sherlock Holmes. Not.
In this episode hosts John Sweeney and Ed Abel Smith ask critical questions of the Cheshire Police investigation into the state of the neonatal clinic at the Countess of Chester Hospital: why did the coppers plump for the conclusion of a serial killer at large? Why did they hire, then fire a professor of statistics and not tell the defence? And did the police understand the complex medical reality, that the unit was looking after very sick premature babies, some of which had every chance of dying naturally?

Episode 2: The Deluded
In episode 2 - After a spike in deaths in the neonatal unit at the Countess of Chester Hospital in 2015, hospital bosses called in a team of independent expert doctors to find the root cause. Their report was damning, criticising environment, staffing and the consultants doing two scheduled ward rounds a week - the standard is two a day. The consultants pointed to a killer nurse on the loose. But did they have skin in the game? This podcast is a self funded independent production.
