Lucy Letby Case - Did Lady Thirlwall Preside Over a Case Involving Dr. Dewi Evans in May 2017

A 2017 Court of Appeal medical negligence case (FB v Princess Alexandra Hospital) is examined for what it reveals about Dr. Dewi Evans' conduct as an expert witness. In that case Evans gave testimony about a neonatal resuscitation, maintaining his original opinion even after key factual matters shifted. The video argues this behaviour — dogmatic insistence on a conclusion regardless of changing evidence — mirrors exactly what Evans did in the Letby prosecution. The speaker contends that Evans is incapable of revising his position, and that the Thirlwall Inquiry should have scrutinised this earlier case. The pattern identified is one of an expert who reaches a conclusion first and then defends it immovably, rather than allowing the evidence to guide his view.

This is what Dewi Evans does. He reaches a conclusion and then he defends it to the death regardless of what the evidence actually says.

The Thirlwall Inquiry should have looked at this case because it shows a pattern of behaviour that goes back years before the Letby trial.
