Letby Trial: Doctor's Secret Texts Revealed

A key doctor, who testified in the historic murder trial of Lucy Letby, had his interactions with the convicted nurse examined. The doctor was granted anonymity and special measures, testifying from behind a screen to shield him from Letby and the public gallery. His evidence detailed joint involvement in emergency calls and resuscitations, with text messages exchanged between him and Letby being presented to the jury. Letby, who has always maintained her innocence and is serving 15 whole life prison terms, became visibly emotional when the doctor first testified. During her cross-examination, Letby denied the doctor was her boyfriend but acknowledged a trip to London together. Prosecutors presented WhatsApp messages where a friend teased Letby about being "flirty" and "sweet" on the doctor. Letby denied any romantic connection, stating "there was nothing between me and that Mark." The Criminal Cases Review Commission is currently reviewing Letby's convictions.
