Two defence experts withdraw from Lucy Letby case over scientific concerns

Two expert witnesses left Lucy Letby's defence team on Monday, saying they could not support some of the scientific evidence being used in her case. Letby, a British nurse, was convicted of serious crimes against babies in her care. She is now challenging those convictions in court. The two experts said there were problems with parts of the defence's evidence that they could not resolve. Because of this, they felt they were unable to continue working on the case. Expert witnesses are important in legal cases like this, as they help explain complex evidence to the court. Their departure raises doubts about the strength of some arguments her legal team has been making. A public inquiry into the case also reported on Monday.
