Post-Netflix documentary — evidential recap

Following the Netflix documentary release of 4 February 2026, this commentary piece sets out where the substantive evidential record stands for viewers arriving cold. Topics covered: the Shoo Lee Panel's case-by-case review (February 2025), the Joint Insulin Report (May 2025), further expert reports recorded on the CCRC's chronology, the CPS January 2026 decision not to pursue eleven further charges, and the Thirlwall Inquiry's institutional-vs-conviction-safety carve-out. The piece is structured as an onboarding sequence for non-specialist audiences and emphasises the parallels with the Sally Clark, Angela Cannings and Donna Anthony precedents. The Netflix release itself is framed as the Horizon-template cultural-event trigger that has historically preceded Court of Appeal referral activity in similar cases.
