3: The Inquiry: They Should Be Ashamed
We are now at the end of the first week of the Thirlwall Inquiry set up to establish how Lucy Letby was able to get away with murdering babies on an NHS hospital ward for so long. Already, damaging testimony has been delivered about how multiple attempts to raise the alarm went unheeded, and delays in calling in the police cost babies' lives. Why were managers slow to act? What action could or should the hospital have taken? And what urgently needs to change within our healthcare system to stop something similar ever happening again?

1: The Inquiry: Addressing The Doubters
As it’s revealed Lucy Letby has changed her legal team this special episode takes a look at what is causing rampant speculation amongst both experts and the general public that Lucy Letby’s conviction could have been ‘unsafe’. We speak to Professor Jane Hutton, who signed a letter calling for an extension to the scope of the Inquiry as she questions the statistical evidence that was provided in court.Liz and Caroline then go onto discuss Letby’s legal position with Tim Owen, KC, a barrister with a wealth of experience in returning cases to appeal. He offers a frank and precise analysis of the very limited options left open to the former nurse and her legal team.We then look ahead to the Inquiry—which commences on Tuesday 10th September—and the three key findings it will aim to establish.Follow us on instagram @thetrialpodEmail us thetrial@mailmetromedia.co.ukWhatsApp us +447796657512 (start your message with ‘Trial’)Presenters: Caroline Cheetham and Liz HullGuests: Professor Jane Hutton and Tim Owen, KCProducer: Caroline CheethamEditor: Buddy PeaceExecutive Producer: Lucy VallanceA Daily Mail production.
