Interview With Dr. Allan Corder On Lucy Letby

Dr Allan Corder, a retired surgeon, provides case-by-case analysis of several index babies. For Children A and B (twins), he highlights the mother's antiphospholipid syndrome, the use of labetalol in labour, and the absence of cardiac froth at post-mortem — inconsistent with a large air embolism. For Child C, he describes severe intrauterine growth restriction with reversed end-diastolic flow at 18 weeks, consistent with bowel obstruction, not deliberate harm. For Child D, he identifies a 60-hour delay in antibiotic administration following premature rupture of membranes as clinically indefensible. For the triplets, he notes the subcapsular haematomas are consistent with delivery trauma and the monochorionic placentation. He also questions whether insulin testing was conducted to forensic standards, and argues that statistician Jane Hutton was excluded from the trial by the CPS without adequate justification.
