The miscarriage of justice watchdog has found ‘gang narratives’ used in a joint enterprise murder conviction may have led to three wrongful convictions. The CCRC referred the cases of Durrell Goodall, Reano Walters and Trey Wilson to the Court of Appeal https://t.co/DUSjQgBX3M

I like this quote from the article: “The Court’s decision underscores a foundational principle: a person’s liberty cannot depend on expert evidence that lacks scientific grounding, cross-disciplinary support, or methodological reliability”

This case underlines an urgent truth. More than an apology, Sullivan deserves material compensation for his life improperly spent in prison. Something he will not get under the current system, which must be radically reformed.

When I first heard about Lucy Letby's case, I had no reason to doubt the allegations against her. I began following the case because, as a neonatologist with a further interest in risk management and patient safety, I felt I needed to understand how it could possibly happen that

This needed to happen. The evidence against Roberson is extremely weak.

Don't let Texas execute #RobertRoberson — an innocent man — on Oct. 16. Call Gov. Abbott right now at 737-277-6778. Find a call script here: https://t.co/0OuO2r9Bnu

In less than one month, Robert Roberson is scheduled to be executed in Texas. If the state goes through with it, he will be the first person executed in the US who was convicted based on the now widely debunked “shaken baby syndrome” hypothesis.

Jonathan Coffey goes on to quote one of their beloved anonymous sources - "Either [LUCY] is spectacularly bad, or acting maliciously". You could perhaps argue either the PRODUCERS are spectacularly bad, or acting maliciously. (5/7)

Part of the problem with reporting on Lucy Letby is that it’s impossible to see all the relevant documentation. I’m a journalist as well as a (retired) doctor. I’m a believer in absolute transparency in cases like this. I think all the court transcripts and documents should

I watched the ITV documentary on Lucy Letby last night. It seems to me that there is no way that Judge or Jury were given any chance to form a proper basis on whether Lucy Letby was innocent or guilty. As Private Eye's@Dr Phil Hammond put it "What is most telling about this

Lucy Letby: Lies or Delusion? Adam King (barrister) is unimpressed by Christopher Snowdon's biggest reason for thinking Lucy Letby is guilty. From the April UnHerd event.

New Letby newsletter: what about that judge’s direction that “the jury didn’t need to know the precise method, as long as they were sure”? Is that even possible, in this case? Wasn’t it appealed? h/t @EruthmaEruthmas for the 13 word tl;dr. Link below 👇

@DebbieKennett @EruthmaEruthmas But criminal law is a profoundly social enterprise. Probability, statistics, science, medicine, psychology and inferential reasoning are fundamental to it. Criminal lawyers not only have no domain privilege in those areas: they are, to contrary, notoriously inept at them.

BREAKING: Texas schedules Oct. 16 execution date for #RobertRoberson. He would become the first person in the U.S. executed based on the widely-discredited “shaken baby” hypothesis.

BREAKING: Brian Boles and Charles Collins have been exonerated in New York after 30 years of wrongful conviction. No physical evidence ever connected them to the crime.

A judge already declared Jimmie Duncan “factually innocent”, but prosecutors are still going after him. Now, the victim's mother is calling for his freedom at his July 22 bail hearing.

The CCRC has refused to return Jeremy Bamber's case to the Court of Appeal. They have spent four years examining 4 of the 10 grounds identified by Bamber's lawyers as undermining the safety of his conviction. They will continue to examine the other six.

It is staggeringly incompetent that any trial relating to a spike of neonatal deaths heard no expert evidence from a) an experienced obstetrician b) a level 3 neonatologist or c) a medical statistician. Had it done so, the jury may well have reached very different conclusions.
