Context

A letter signed by senior barristers and legal academics, coordinated via the Bar Council and published in The Times in April 2025. The letter called on the Criminal Cases Review Commission to prioritise an urgent review of the safety of Ms Letby’s convictions in the light of the February 2025 Panel report.

A note on this page. We do not quote the letter. It was published behind The Times’ paywall and we have found no copy we can read and check, so anything we set out as its wording would be second-hand. A request to the Times returns its device-verification page rather than the article, which is why the source link on this page points at the publisher rather than at a document.
