   Dr. Dewi Evans full interview

   Today, on February 4th, 2025, we have heard the first complete report by the international panel of medical experts gathered by Lucy Letby's legal team under the guidence of Dr. Shoo Lee.  The report summary was presented in London at a press conference hosted by Sir David Davis, the senior Conservative party MP who has raised questions about the case and declared his certainty that this is a miscarriage of justice. The 14 member panel which includes world renowned experts in neonatology and pediatric medicine was established to asses the case notes of the 17 babies that formed Lucy Letby's two trials. Their conclusion and summary of the medical evidence is crystal clear, they can find no evidence of murder or attempted murder. Dr. Lee and the panel can however find countless examples across the case files of failures in medical care and, chronically sick babies collapsing and dying of natural causes. The experts conclusions stand in stark contrast to Dr. Evans' evidence for the prosecution. In light of this report we felt it was important to hear Dr. Dewi Evan’s interview with John and Ed in full.

Dr Lee then spelt out the conclusions of the international expert panel. So our conclusions was that first, there is no evidence to support a dislodged endotracheal tube. The clinical deterioration was caused by the use of an undersized endotracheal tube. And the initial intuition was traumatic and poorly supervised. The consultant did not understand the basics of resuscitation, of air leak, of mechanical ventilation, and how the equipment that he was using, that were commonly used in the in the new digital unit.
