Interview With Dr. Keith Wilkinson On Lucy Letby

Dr Keith Wilkinson, an anaesthetist with thirty years of practice on the Isle of Man, brings a perspective shaped by a longstanding interest in miscarriages of justice. He identifies several structural red flags: no witness ever observed Lucy Letby performing any harmful act; she had an exemplary three-year career before the allegations arose; she won an unprecedented employment grievance against senior consultants — a Band 5 nurse prevailing against consultants, which he argues is almost unheard of in the NHS. He also notes that Dr Evans self-presented to police rather than being commissioned independently, that Dr Bohin conducted his so-called peer review having been given Evans's conclusions first, and that the NCA's recommendation for a multidisciplinary expert panel — including a consultant obstetrician and a geneticist — was overridden. All of these factors, Wilkinson argues, should have been fatal to the prosecution before trial.
