Lucy Letby BBC Panorama Dewi Evans Plays Another Blinder

The host analyses Dewi Evans's contribution to the BBC Panorama documentary, finding it uniquely self-damaging. He reconstructs the full May 2017 timeline using Evans's own contradictory statements about how he came to work on the case — the story shifts from reading a Sunday paper to seeing a Guardian article — and characterises Evans as an unreliable narrator who believes information disappears on the internet. Most significantly, Evans states on camera that he concluded inflicted injury had occurred within a matter of minutes of seeing the notes, then defends changing his diagnosis of Child C by saying it does not matter whether the mechanism was air into the stomach or air into the bloodstream since both represent deliberate harm. The host demonstrates in detail why those two mechanisms produce entirely different clinical pictures, making Evans's position technically incoherent. The host also revisits Evans's comment that rival experts perhaps do not know as much as they think, contrasted with Professor Nina Modi's exceptional credentials.
