Will the Thirlwall report change the debate about Lucy Letby?
Mention Lucy Letby and you're likely to get a strong reaction. The nurse was sentenced to spend the rest of her life in prison for murdering seven babies and attempting to murder seven more. But though two juries have convicted her, and she has twice been denied permission to appeal, it seems everyone has an opinion on whether she really did it. She has become the centre of an information war. The name Lady Justice Thirlwall, however, attracts less recognition. She's the judge who's been tasked with examining how Letby was able to commit her crimes at the Countess of Chester Hospital in 2015-2016, and whether her managers should have responded differently when suspicions about her were raised.
