Not really surprising that the jailed father say anything to get out of prison. There is clear medical evidence of deliberate harm in that case.Anouk Curry is up to her old tricks again.

Key Letby witness accused of flawed evidence in shaken baby conviction
Jailed father seeks to overturn judgment by challenging expert who helped convict nursewww.telegraph.co.uk
Great post and very true. The idea of Letby being guilty and therefore basically putting the case to bed, isn't really beneficial to the media, and social media. They want clicks and engagement.Just gone down another side-track - Sky documentary about the Diane Garbutt / Post Office murder. It's interesting to see how the case splits the community / families and how some people are still deeply invested in the idea of the accused's innocence to the point it dominates their lives. Notable that they 'just don't believe' the person they knew could murder someone, implying that the police / trial lawyers have wrongly interpreted the evidence or worse.
There's a very familiar pattern in their arguments i.e. that if you take separate pieces of evidence in isolation from one another, you can speculate there's an alternative explanation for several of them individually - the court defence in the PO murder made these type of arguments: as discussed on the Letby threads, that's pretty much all a defence barrister can do when the totality of the evidence points at their client.
Also a familiar tactic of referring the verdict to the appeals court and CCRC by claiming different 'new evidence' each time, finding an expert witness prepared to widen the parameters of a piece of forensic evidence to cause 'debate' against majority expert opinions.
I remember Sarah Koenig having a moment towards the end of the original 'Serial' where she wonders if you could question the individual pieces of evidence in any criminal conviction and raise doubts - wondering what she herself might have just done perhaps.
With podcasts and social media it's a potent way of encouraging 'engagement' which I guess Letby's ghost train of supporters are trying to get.
This engagement provides defence teams with a sort of second public-opinion jury, all the people who are following online, going through evidence - not all of it the actual evidence presentable in court - to 'make their own minds up' independently of the actual court cases. Lots of people seem primed to choose 'sides', for every case to have a 'twist in the narrative' or be a 'miscarriage of justice' story because that's how HBO and Netflix structure their high- ratings doccos. I wonder how much this can interfere with proper judicial process.
I think it was Tofino who said some news outlets switched 'sides' re Letby to 'is she innocent after all?' after the guilty verdicts because there's no engagement left in her proven guilt - which is beyond cynical of them.
The key pieces of evidence showing the babies were deliberately harmed are rarely mentioned now; such as the X rays showing air, the post mortem reports showing air not a blood clot for baby A and baby O's puncture liver injury showing no blood loss because it occured after death. This evidence requires specialised experts such as paediatric radiologist, paediatric pathologist and endogologist to analyse the insulin evidence, McDonald doesn't appear to have any of these experts and just skims over this evidence in his press releases.Just gone down another side-track - Sky documentary about the Diane Garbutt / Post Office murder.

Yes documentaries will frequently miss out the prosecution evidence giving a false impression of the case. Over the years even the BBC have broadcast "is X innocent?" programmes.Just gone down another side-track - Sky documentary about the Diane Garbutt / Post Office murder.

Luke Mitchell campaigners are strangers to the truth and evidence all to suit their own grifting narrative. Blame anyone and everyone but Luke Mitchell for the murder without any evidence. Even the victims brother. They ignore actual evidence and court transcripts,block anyone that questions their narrative, threaten and stalk people including a journalist. Constantly put it out there that there was no dna of luke on the victim when they're corrected that their was dna and that it was agreed by defense and prosecution not to use it as evidence as victim and luke were in a relationship and it would be expected his dna would be on her. Anyone pointing this out is a liar . They go to any lengths to protest his innocence except actually look properly at evidence. They're all off their heads.Yes documentaries will frequently miss out the prosecution evidence giving a false impression of the case.

The judge sentencing Garbutt said his story of a robbery was ludicrous from beginning to end and he was right. Luke Mitchell is another one for whom a persuasive case can be made if you leave out the prosecution evidence.
This behaviour is very common amongst innocence campaigners - Jeremy Bamber has them too. The late Paul Foot was convinced that James Hanratty was innocent - even when they dug up his body and made a DNA match he wouldn't accept it. He still has campaigners even now.Luke

The DM always puts money over compassion. It always seems to be Mail on Sunday that publishes the pro Letby articles, I guess they must have different editors to DM. But dont they ever stop to think about the poor families who've lost their beautiful babies and now have to suffer all these stupid articles.I can't understand why the Daily Mail - despite the obvious answer that they are a shitrag - continue to champion this baby killer with the reverence of a hard core religious type hysteria seen in the old south bible belt.
Is it purely a class thing? There must be more to it when it seems obvious to me she's guilty as sin???
Have been convinced the wretched Peter Hitchens just fancies her for a while, tbh.
