Lucy Letby's lawyers have said they will be asking the Court of Appeal to immediately review all of her convictions because an expert witness "has now changed his mind on the cause of death of three babies".
The former nurse is serving 15 whole-life jail terms for murdering seven babies and trying to kill seven others while working as a neo-natal nurse at the Countess of Chester Hospital.
Her barrister Mark McDonald told a news conference in London that the lead prosecution expert, Dr Dewi Evans, had altered his view.
He said: "Remarkably, Dr Evans has now changed his mind on the cause of death of three of the babies: Baby C, Baby I and Baby P."
Letby was convicted in August 2023 and was refused permission to appeal against her convictions in May.

iGaming solutions provider SOFTSWISS has invited operators to join the current Prime Network Jackpot, which began with an initial prize pool of over 1,000,000 euros ($1.05 million). The base amount is ten times larger than the starting pool of the first Prime Network Jackpot launched in October 2023.
Operators can join the current Prime Network Jackpot at any time before the drop. The prize pool will continue to grow as more participating casinos contribute to it. Ultimately, one lucky winner from a single casino will claim the grand prize of over 1,000,000 euro.
SOFTSWISS says that the Prime Network Jackpot is especially appealing due to its “collaborative” approach. A shared prize pool is formed across participating operators, increasing the jackpot’s appeal to players.
The SOFTSWISS Jackpot Aggregator, a player engagement management solution, launched the Prime Network Jackpot feature last year. Since its launch, the feature has attracted a growing number of operators, resulting in larger prize pools with every draw.
“It’s a very exciting milestone for us. Over the past year, the SOFTSWISS Jackpot Aggregator and its Prime Network Jackpot feature have evolved significantly. Beyond the hard work of our professional team, this success reflects the high interest in engagement tools within the market,” said Anhelina Stasiuk, Head of Business Line at SOFTSWISS Jackpot Aggregator. 
“In iGaming, prize size matters. I’m proud that we’ve reached a level where we can offer the best solutions.”
Recently, the SOFTSWISS Jackpot Aggregator announced the improvement of its product by introducing the Multi-Prizes feature. This new functionality enables operators to split winnings among several players or groups, offering customizable distribution methods tailored to various engagement strategies. 
In other recent news, SOFTSWISS held its first SOFTSWISS Excellence Talks event at the company’s main office in Poznań, Poland. The new quarterly initiative is aimed at cultivating a local community of professionals and strengthening ties with educational institutions.
The opening event featured a keynote address by Andrey Starovoitov, Co-CEO of SOFTSWISS, who welcomed attendees, and a special appearance by Rubens Barrichello, Formula 1 legend and Non-Executive Director in Latin America at SOFTSWISS.
