> I am not so sure this completely discounts the statistical relevance of when Letby joined, more infants died.

There were mortality rate spikes happening at hospitals across the country. The common factor was defunding and understaffing.

The investigators discarded cases but included a child that deteriorated seconds after Letby clocked in to the hospital before she even walked to her department. Everything I have read about the case screams fitting the data to match a predetermined outcome. This is how other nurses were jailed for mass murders that simply did not happen.

The case is really bizarre. The prosecution invented a new form of murder that every publicly interviewed expert claims is physically impossible, based on a paper about a single medical case from decades ago, of which the only surviving author supports Letby's defense (but was not allowed to testify).
