In October 2022 the case finally hit the courtroom. Surely a rigorous ten-month trial would get to the bottom of what really happened? Surely justice would be done? Wouldn’t it? (4/4) youtu.be/6D4qtjitF7A

Before the trial, came the investigation. It didn’t so much come off the rails as never found the rails in the first place – from inception seemingly focused on a single malevolent explanation for bad outcomes on an overstretched NHS neonatal unit. (2/4) youtu.be/Y2Ed565aCm8

All were keen to speak out. They were polite enough to not mention my camera lenses were not as good as ITN’s. I paid none of them. No-one paid me either – this, like all my Lucy Letby Films, is self-funded and not monetised. (6/7)

So I figured ITN’s film was unlikely to be a searing expose of an investigation that has become mired in controversy. And so it was. They didn’t appear to ask any officers a single hard question, but they did light them like film noir and used excellent lenses on the cameras. (3/7)

I decided to make this film after I saw Netflix’s trailer, 4 weeks ago. ITN announced a deal with Cheshire Police after the trial verdicts. Their producer said it took a year for them to win the tender – meaning they started before the trial did. (2/7) deadline.com/2023/08/lucy...

You are welcome to disregard their collective work of course. But I know who I'd rather trust to tell me the medical truth.

Guy Rowland @guyrowlanduk.bsky.social · 03/07/2025

It's him vs the best in the world, who have all but their reputations on the line for no money. Dr Shoo Lee only knew his paper had been misused. For all he knew it was an anomaly. But he was concerned, and so were his colleagues.

Guy Rowland @guyrowlanduk.bsky.social · 03/07/2025

As an independent witness, he also boasts he has only ever lost one case. A very strange boast from an independent witness. It looks for all the world that he earns a lot of money for telling people whatever they want to hear. A grifter.

Guy Rowland @guyrowlanduk.bsky.social · 03/07/2025

Dewi Evans has boasted that his work keeps his son in cars and daughter in horses. If he was the best, then no quibble. But not a single neonatologist has publicly backed his ridiculous and ever changing theories.

Guy Rowland @guyrowlanduk.bsky.social · 03/07/2025

Eventually those expert reports Brearey wanted did come - in Feb 2025. There are no more qualified people in the world than Shoo Lee's panel. Brearey had even written to one begging for help in 2018, Neena Modi, then the president of the RCPCH. She has published over 350 papers.

Guy Rowland @guyrowlanduk.bsky.social · 03/07/2025

Like Dr Ravi Jayaram and Dr Stephen Brearey who ran the substandard unit, he never had the credentials. In the face of no evidence, Brearey kept asking for more and more reports by every more qualified neonatolgists. Instead, they got Dewi Evans. In the event, he seemed to do.

120

Guy Rowland @guyrowlanduk.bsky.social · 03/07/2025

Last reply, but I'll make it a thorough one. Dewi Evans was not a neonatologist, but he sought out Cheshire police as it was "my kind of case". He diagnosed deliberate harm in 10 minutes over a coffee, something missed by all the coroners and pathologists. The police hired him.

110

Guy Rowland @guyrowlanduk.bsky.social · 03/07/2025

Nope. Most of those experts in court did not actually review the clinical notes independently, they worked off Dewi's reports.

200

Guy Rowland @guyrowlanduk.bsky.social · 03/07/2025

Dewi Evans has never been a full neonatologist. By the time he was in court, he hadn't worked for 15 years in any medical capacity. He was the chief witness. Almost all the others simply rubber stamped his ever-changing reports, and never looked independently at the notes.

100

Guy Rowland @guyrowlanduk.bsky.social · 03/07/2025

By contrast, the prosecution's chief expert Dewi Evans was long retired and has never been a neonatologist. He offered his services to the police, and is thought to have been paid 7 figures.

Guy Rowland @guyrowlanduk.bsky.social · 03/07/2025

These experts - including the founder of the Canadian Neonatal Foundation, a past president of the RCPCH and and the Senior Medical Director of the European Foundation for the Care of Newborn Infants (to name but 3) - all worked for free.

As a result of British Justice saying "whatevs" over 58 pages, Dr Shoo Lee called the best experts in the world. He said he didn't know if Lucy was guilty. She consented to them publishing whatever they found, good or bad for her. They found no evidence of any malfeasance in any case.
