The doctor at the heart of new claims from Lucy Letby's lawyers has said they are "unsubstantiated, unfounded, inaccurate". The nurse's new lawyer Mark McDonald said on Monday in a press conference that Dr Dewi Evans "changed his mind on the cause of death of three of the babies" killed by Lucy Letby.
Dr Evans was said to have told the jury that Letby had injected air down a nasal gastric tube of three babies, referred to as infants C, I and P. Letby's legal team said he had changed his mind and this meant all of her convictions should be reviewed. But in response, Dr Evans said in a statement: "Mr Mark McDonald's observations regarding my evidence is unsubstantiated, unfounded, inaccurate.
"His method of presenting his information reflects clear prejudice and bias. "I cannot recall any KC advocating on behalf of a client via a press conference, especially a case of such sensitivity. Lucy Letby's lawyers say expert witness has 'changed his mind' on cause of death of three babies.
