🕵️ Inquisitorial Death Investigator & Death Scene Interpreter | ☠️ Former Senior Coroner’s Officer | 🐈‍⬛ RSPCA Volunteer |🌟My Deafness is my Superpower 🌟

Warrington, England
Thank you to everyone who watched the #SilverKiller documentary on ITV1 on Monday evening - apparently 1.35 million watched it 🙏 It has since been receiving high viewing figures on catch up (ITVX) also. I also want to thank everyone that has taken the time to send me supportive messages and emails - I hope to reply to everyone over the next few days. I’m also humbled by the supportive comments that the public have left on news articles and YouTube about me - I am very grateful 😊 As stated by the experts in the programme, I did absolutely the right thing raising my concerns. I hope that one day an independent authority will properly investigate these deaths and that those responsible for these miscarriages of justice are finally brought to justice. My thoughts are always with the affected families, who I hope will one day consider meeting with me in person so I can explain to them why I wrote that report, and how I know that their loved ones are completely innocent. As was made clear in the documentary, I was *not* the person that leaked my report to the media. #SilverKiller #CheshirePolice #LucyLetby

A Special Constable has been dismissed after allegedly failing to pay for three Sainsbury’s carrier bags worth just £1.20. We’ve submitted a Freedom of Information request to West Mercia Police to establish the estimated cost of the investigation and subsequent accelerated misconduct hearing. But there’s another cost that cannot be measured in pounds and pence. What is the psychological toll of being investigated and having your name dragged through a public misconduct hearing? Nobody is suggesting wrongdoing should go unchallenged. But surely we should be asking questions about proportionality, public expenditure and the human consequences of these processes. We’ll share the FOI response when we receive it.

A point of correction: the Thirlwall Inquiry did not reveal the damning email by Dr Jayaram, which completely contradicted the evidence he gave on the stand. On the contrary: the Thirlwall Inquiry sat on the email. They kept schtum about it. They won't even clarify if they became aware of the email *before* or *after* Lucy Letby's retrial. In other words, the Thirlwall Inquiry cannot even bring itself to let the public know whether or not it sat on exculpatory evidence ahead of a freaking trial.

Remember this telling comment by @Voice4theDead, folk? It is one of the most significant post-trial discoveries that it was Dr Brearey who carried out a needle aspiration on Baby O before he died. That wasn't disclosed to the Coroner, and I believe that it wasn't in the notes either, and only came out in cross-examination during the trial when it was largely dismissed as having contributed to the deterioration of Baby O. Even worse, it was only after the trial that people started publicly connecting that procedure to the liver injury - blamed on Lucy. As I also seem to remember, the jury were not told that this could have been a medical accident - not a crime. If Dr Jayaram has his Baby K issue, Dr Brearey may himself have something of a Baby O issue. Isn't that another reason why Lady Thirlwall's stark statement that the deaths of Babies O and P should have been avoided may appear overstated in the way she presented it?
Does he regret withholding crucial information about his failed needle procedure to the Coroner, which was his statutory duty to report? 🤔 🤷‍♀️ #LucyLetby

We are now ready to start sharing more on our investigation into air embolism - and whether it can really be relied on as the way #lucyletby murdered seven babies. More follows tonight.

Absolutely agree. The arguments in favour of Lucy Letby’s purported guilt seemed, in my opinion, to reflect a really worrying lack of understanding even of the basic principle of Occam’s Razor. Lots of hearing hooves and concluding zebras rather than horses, seemingly.

I agree. There are many areas of evidential weakness on this case. But, as a doctor, what I think is incredibly worrying is how implausible most of the medical evidence put forward by the police, CPS, prosecution and so called expert witnesses was. To anyone who has practised medicine for any reasonable length of time, most of it just doesn’t hold water and, to be honest, reflects a complete lack of understanding of the practise of medicine and of physiology, pathophysiology and basic medical sciences.

The Collapse of the Case Against Lucy Letby 🧵 As I understand it, here is where things stand as the evidence unravels: 1. Psychology: Prof. Gísli Guðjónsson confirmed Post-it notes reflect acute distress, not guilt. 2.Medical Evidence: Air embolism/NG-tube theories debunked by relevant experts; insulin tests lacked mass spectrometry, with no evidence Letby logistically administered exogenous insulin. 3.Investigation: Senior police leaders are challenging the safety of the investigation for failing to follow national police protocols to appoint an independent multidisciplinary panel, relying primarily on Dr. Dewi Evans instead, and letting hospital consultants pick cases over auditing all deaths. 4.Statistics: Multiple statisticians proved shift roster cherry-picked data by removing off-duty events. 5.Circumstantial Evidence: Handover sheets, social media searches, and presence on shift are proof of nothing without solid medical/scientific grounding. So, will the CCRC refer the case? Given all of the above, how could a CCRC referral not be highly likely? The legal standard is only whether there's a "real possibility" the convictions are unsafe, making a referral feel hopefully inevitable. The Legal Hurdles Ahead: As a layperson looking at the legal setup, if I've understood it correctly, what stands out is the "every count" hurdle: to overturn her whole-life sentence, the Court must find the verdicts unsafe across all 15 counts. If judges uphold even one, the whole-life order legally remains, though, from what I can tell, I struggle to see even one count where the evidence hasn't been completely picked apart.

NEW CAMPAIGN LAUNCH - POLICE SUICIDE. “Following the death of Jon Ezard, I couldn’t even bring myself to attend his funeral. I knew it would have broken me. “On the day of Jon’s funeral, I sat at home, alone, trying to work out how we could bring together a diverse group of people, united by one purpose: to shine a light on police suicide and the circumstances that can contribute to it. “Months later, I’m proud to announce the launch of It Stops Now which is supported by Pocket Sergeant. “ It’s been months in the making, bringing together bereaved families, serving and former officers, coroners officers, academics, medical professionals and others who believe things need to change. They’re all unbelievable people who love our cops. “I don’t pretend to have all the answers. But I hope we can help start difficult conversations, challenge the status quo and influence positive change.” ~ Paul Please check out the website: 🔗 itstopsnow.co.uk

Stephanie Davies has absolute authority to speak about this. In response to Nov 16th headlines, "Doctor says he should have gone to police earlier", Stephanie wrote: "Doctor says he should have reported his erroneous needle procedure to the Coroner earlier, after Lucy Letby raised concerns about failings in his unit." For those unaware, Stephanie was Cheshire Police’s Senior Coroner’s Officer. Her review helped trigger the Letby investigation. She found gaps in the death records, NOT evidence of murder. She later uncovered a crucial missing piece of the jigsaw. Dr Brearey had carried out an unusual, unconventional procedure, inserting a needle into Baby O’s abdomen during resuscitation and drawing blood. Yet this was not disclosed to the coroner before the post-mortem, presumably in an attempt to conceal his mistake. Now, Brearey says he should have gone to the police sooner about Letby. I agree, he should have gone to the police earlier. He should have reported his own malpractice and explain to the police why he didn't tell the coroner about it. Why isn't THAT making headlines?

itstopsnow.co.uk/ I’m so pleased to be part of this initiative that has *launched today* Like many other police employees I too have been subjected to a prolonged, unethical and vindictive PSD investigation. The aim is to prevent future suicides in police employees 🙏

The entire story of the Lucy Letby catastrophe in a dozen tweets. 1. Beginning June 2015, Chester hospital’s Neonatal unit experienced a spike in admissions and of particularly vulnerable babies. The situation was beyond its ability to cope.

Half -stepping aside from his pro bono work for Letby, @legalmarkmc gives a broader view on what is so wrong with @Thirlwall_Inq report. Thirlwall is not just painfully ignoring the Letby elephant in the room, but has come up with a proposed inversion of common sense about crisis management and blame allocation in a troubled NHS. MacDonald convincingly punctures this last vestige of apparent value from the Inquiry. Thirlwall ruled that having Letby represented in her Inquiry would be “disruptive”. Can’t think why… #lucyletby @doctorcaldwell @NadineDorries @ClarkeMicah @Michelehal7344 @drphilhammond @Sunraged @seagreen theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Peter Hitchens writes in the Daily Mail: "Why is BBC biased against Lucy Letby? " "On Friday it noisily promoted an interview with one of Ms Letby's accusers, Dr Stephen Brearey. In my view he has his own troubles. But repeated plugs of this interview on BBC Radio 4 contained no acknowledgement that the Letby conviction had been challenged by experts, former Cabinet ministers and a retired Supreme Court judge." #LucyLetby dailymail.com/news/article-1…

This piece of self congratulation deserves no applause. Operation Hummingbird should have been called Mockingbird for making a mockery of the criminal justice system, aided and abetted by CPS Northwest who were culpable for bringing a false prosecution against innocent #LucyLetby
