Former Conservative MP David Davis has called for a retrial of Lucy Letby, citing his own review of the evidence.
Davis believes there is a high likelihood that Letby may not be guilty, suggesting alternative explanations for the infant deaths.
Speaking to Christopher Hope on GB News, Davis explained his stance: “I haven’t met with her [Letby]. I’m not worried about it.
“People have asked, would I meet with her? I said yes, if she wants to, but I don’t.

“I’m not going to make a judgment of her innocence or guilt by looking at her and saying are you guilty?
“I’m judging on the on the evidence. I spent three months going through the evidence.”
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
Lucy Letby, a former nurse at the Countess of Chester Hospital, was convicted in August last year of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder seven others between June 2015 and June 2016.
The case shocked the nation and led to Letby being sentenced to life in prison.
Davis suggested alternative explanations for the infant deaths: “You can’t be certain, but most likely 90 odd per cent not guilty.
“The most likely reason is one of two things either poor management by the hospital or the Royal College found a superbug Pseudomonas. An investigation found that or both together. That’s much more likely.”

Letby has maintained her innocence since first being arrested in 2018, and told the courtroom “I’m innocent” as she was being led from the docks after a second trial saw her convicted of attempting to murder a baby girl.
Peter Green, a former president of the Royal Statistical Society (RSS), previously said: “The chart appears to be very convincing, but there are a number of issues with it.
“A big thing is that it only describes 25 of the bad events which happened in this period.
“It doesn’t include any of the events that happened when Lucy was not on duty.”
He claimed that there is ‘There is a 90 odd percent she is not guilty!’

The public inquiry into Lucy Letby’s crimes is ongoing at Liverpool Town Hall. It aims to examine how Letby was able to carry out her attacks on the neonatal unit.
The investigation will also scrutinise how hospital management handled concerns about Letby’s behaviour.
Lady Justice Thirlwall, who chairs the inquiry, has emphasised the importance of providing answers to the affected families.
The inquiry is expected to focus on the cases of 14 babies who were murdered or harmed by Letby.
