The Verdict

The Countess of Chester Hospital sits on the edge of the historic town of Chester, concrete, functional, unremarkable. On the surface, it’s entirely typical. But what happened inside would become one of the most consequential events in modern British history. In this episode, we examine the setting at the centre of the Lucy Letby case — and the tragic events inside that set everything in motion.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lucy Letby was branded Britain’s most prolific child serial killer. The headlines were instant and unanimous: guilty. Case closed...or maybe not. In the wake of her conviction, a quiet rebellion began among journalists, statisticians, and senior doctors who question whether the evidence told the full story.  Amanda Knox explores how one narrative took hold — and why another is now fighting to be heard.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It was a case that shocked the United Kingdom and the wider world. Lucy Letby, a young nurse, was found guilty of murdering premature babies. She was a serial killer whose target was not just the youngest, most vulnerable human beings alive, but also those entrusted to her care. But, is everything as clear as it seems? Host Amanda Knox asks if this case is really as open and shut as the world believes or if – in fact – there is reasonable doubt. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
