Second-opinion neonatology expert at trial
Largely corroborated Dr Evans's conclusions at trial.
Supported the air-embolism and insulin theories advanced by Dr Evans.
The defence case at trial, recorded in the Court of Appeal judgment, was that she and Dr Evans 'applied skin discolouration as a means of diagnosing air embolus outside any reliable basis for doing so'. The Court of Appeal refused leave on that ground, holding it was not arguable. The February 2025 International Expert Panel, reviewing the same material, reached natural-cause conclusions in the cases at issue.
