Dutch Supreme Court acquits Lucia de Berk
The Dutch Supreme Court acquits Lucia de Berk after seven years in prison. Prof. Richard Gill (Leiden) led the statistical critique that demonstrated the conviction evidence was structurally unsound. The case becomes the closest international parallel to the Letby case: cluster noticed, common-factor nurse identified, retrospective unblinded medical re-interpretation, statistical chart without qualified statistician. Prof. Gill is subsequently publicly involved in the Letby case.
