Defence neonatology expert at trial
Instructed as the neonatology expert for Letby's defence at trial, attending nearly every day of proceedings and writing a detailed report on the medical evidence. He was not called to give evidence and the jury never heard his opinion; he told the Guardian he did not know why he was not called.
Hall told the Guardian: "With regard to the medical evidence, I don't think the prosecution proved she was guilty beyond reasonable doubt. I don't think she had a fair trial because no medical expert witness was called for the defence to challenge the prosecution expert medical evidence." He also said prosecution witnesses had exaggerated how unwell some of the babies were.
