Letby Defence Team Press Conference - 10am
Lucy Letby's defence team will be holding a press conference at 10am today. The conference will be held in Westminster, and attended by Mark MacDonald, David Davis MP, Dr Shoo Lee and a panel of "international experts" who claim they will present "new medical evidence" in the case. MacDonald appeared on "Good Morning Britain" this morning to claim the medical evidence used at trial was "wholly unreliable".
It is believed one of the experts present will be Professor Neena Modi, former Head of the RCPCH, who made a statement to the Thirlwall Inquiry about the RCPCH's involvement with COCH https://thirlwall.public-inquiry.uk/wp-content/uploads/thirlwall-evidence/INQ0006759.pdf and who corresponded with Dr Brearey regarding "reflections" he made to the RCPCH about their review of COCH and treatment of the consultant members https://thirlwall.public-inquiry.uk/wp-content/uploads/thirlwall-evidence/INQ0012734.pdf
