- PETER HITCHENS: The first faint whisper from the Establishment that a jury might not have convicted Lucy Letby if they'd known what we now know
GIST: Unseen footage of serial baby killer Lucy Letby being arrested in her bed will be aired as part of a new Netflix documentary into her case.
The 90-minute film, which will focus on the investigation into her crimes, will also include clips of the 36-year-old former neo-natal nurse's police interviews, testimony from senior detectives and an interview with the mother of one of her victims.
It is the first time a family member involved in the prosecution has spoken in a television documentary.
In a trailer for the programme, entitled Investigation of Lucy Letby, which was released today, the child killer is seen in bed, at her parent's home, in Hereford, looking bewildered as a police officer explains her rights and arrests her.
The bodycam footage also shows her being led out of the semi-detached property, wearing a grey fleece dressing gown over a tracksuit.
She tells the Cheshire Constabulary officers: 'Don't look, just go in.’In another clip, Letby can be seen crying as she is placed in handcuffs and kissing one of her beloved cats goodbye before she is led away.
Letby's trial heard that she was devastated when her two pets, Tigger and Smudge, had to be re-homed when she was eventually charged with killing and harming children, in November 2020.
PodcastOther footage of Letby's police interviews, shown in the trailer, include Detective Sergeant Danielle Stonier asking Letby about the 'confession' note officers discovered during a search of her property.
'You wrote a note saying: "I killed them on purpose",' DS Stonier says.
Letby replies: 'No comment.'
Latby was arrested three times, in July 2018, June 2019 and November 2020, before eventually being charged with murdering and harming children in her care.
Other footage due to be aired in the feature-length documentary, produced by ITN Productions, shows Letby in the back of a police car in handcuffs, being searched by an officer for weapons, alone in a police cell and waiting at a police station reception desk, where suspects are routinely booked in and charged.
The film is scheduled to be released globally by Netflix on February 4, the same day as inquests into the deaths of six of Letby's victims are due to open.
Other contributors include Dr John Gibbs, one of the doctors at the Countess of Chester Hospital who blew the whistle on Letby; journalist Kim Pilling, of the Press Association, who sat through every day of Letby's two trials; Dr Dewi Evans, the lead prosecution expert; and Mark McDonald, Letby's new barrister.
Letby, 36, from Hereford, is serving 15 whole-life orders after she was convicted of murdering seven infants and attempting to murder seven others – one of whom she attacked twice - between June 2015 and June 2016."
On Tuesday it was confirmed she will face no further charges over more deaths and collapses of babies that were investigated by police.
Cheshire Constabulary passed additional evidence to prosecutors last year for consideration, linked to eight potential offences of attempted murder and one offence of murder at the Countess of Chester Hospital.
Another two allegations of attempted murder and murder were linked to one child at Liverpool Women's Hospital, where Letby undertook student training placements.
Letby has always maintained her innocence.
Her new defence team have submitted reports to the Criminal Cases Review Commission, the body that investigates potential miscarriages of justice, in the hope her case will be referred back to the Court of Appeal so she can be freed
Lady Justice Thirlwall's public inquiry report into how Letby was able to commit her crimes on a hospital neonatal unit is due to be published later this year.The entire story can be read at:

FINAL WORD: (Applicable to all of our wrongful conviction cases): "Whenever there is a wrongful conviction, it exposes errors in our criminal legal system, and we hope that this case — and lessons from it — can prevent future injustices."
Lawyer Radha Natarajan:
Executive Director: New England Innocence Project;
—————————————————————————————————
FINAL, FINAL WORD: "Since its inception, the Innocence Project has pushed the criminal legal system to confront and correct the laws and policies that cause and contribute to wrongful convictions. They never shied away from the hard cases — the ones involving eyewitness identifications, confessions, and bite marks. Instead, in the course of presenting scientific evidence of innocence, they've exposed the unreliability of evidence that was, for centuries, deemed untouchable." So true!
Christina Swarns: Executive Director: The Innocence Project;
