Lucy Letby Talks Dr. Roger Norwich + More

A commentary host covers further presentations from the Manchester 19 Nurses event. Dr Roger Norwich reveals that Dewi Evans was not licensed by the GMC at the time he wrote his prosecution expert reports, and that neither Evans nor the other main prosecution expert had published peer-reviewed work on air embolism or insulin in neonates. Norwich notes that Evans has been criticised by judges multiple times in previous cases and that Law Commission recommendations from 2011 on improving expert witness standards were never implemented. Dr Dennis Eadie draws parallels to the Barbara Salisbury case, in which a nurse was convicted on institutional gossip using patterns similar to those seen in the Letby case. Will Powell describes his son Robbie's death in 1990 from Addison's disease at a hospital where Dewi Evans worked, and a thirty-five-year cover-up with no accountability.
