The Spin

Narrative A

Letby was handed multiple life sentences because she was at the scene of all seven infant deaths, it was proven that the babies were poisoned, and she wrote an incriminating note. It's unfortunate that armchair detectives are still pushing theories about her innocence online. It's time to turn the page from this open-and-shut case.

Narrative B

Letby could successfully appeal her conviction. One of the main pieces of evidence against her was a doctor who claimed he saw her standing over a dying baby, but this could've been hearsay. These could've potentially been the words of a nurse feeling guilty over the death of a baby. Given the amount of public support Letby has, it's worth reviewing this case one more time.
