I've read over the last week some serious doubts over the basis of the conviction of Letby raised by investigative journalist (publishing in Private Eye) Dr Phil Hammond. The crux of the argument seems to be that, in a case relying on circumstantial evidence, reliance on a statistical model that linked Letby to the deaths was significant, and that model was so flawed that it could have been used to demonstrate a link between the deaths and a number of individuals, while failing to identify a systemic issue with the ward.

I'm not equipped to assess the validity of this claim, nor of the conviction itself. But it's a reminder that humans and our institutions can make mistakes. I think important to keep this in mind when people in natural disgust advocate that someone deserves the death penalty.
