I saw that article yesterday and shared it on Twitter and Facebook. (I don't tend to be very active here.) I'm not sure I agree with some of the author's comments.

So have I. There's nothing wrong with what Shoo Lee. I've had enough of your rudeness. I'm now going to block you. Bye bye.

What are you on about? He submitted an updated paper which went through the peer review system and was accepted for publication. That's how scientific publication works!

None of the parents had any suspicions with Letby at the time. All the concerns raised at the trial are done through the lends of hindsight bias and because the parents been told by the police that their child had been murdered. They weren't to know that the police were incompetent .

I've read the lawyers' responses and it's clear that there's a lot they don't understand They are representing the families very badly by refusing to engage with the new evidence. It's so sad for the families. They deserve the truth.

Shoo Lee was not instructed by Letby's lawyers. He and the other experts worked pro bono. He was simply enraged by the way his research was misrepresented by Dewi Evans and the CoA judges. You might want to read up on peer review to understand how it works.

And none of the parents saw any problems at the time. Any self-respecting lawyer would engage with the new evidence but as far as I'm aware the families' lawyers still haven't asked for the reports from the world-leading experts.

So you're not shocked at the conflict of interest? My heart goes out to those poor parents but they've been gaslit from the start by the police and the lawyers. Some of them had even commenced legal proceedings against the hospital for negligence.

It's shocking isn't it that such a conflict of interest exists. I tried writing to the Thirlwall Inquiry to alert them but they didn't seem to think it was anything of concern to them and it is was up to the lawyer.

I've given up trying to debate with him. He resorts to nasty and unwarranted insults. I've now blocked him. He seems to be hijacking lots of threads here. Despite the denials I wonder if he is in fact Dewi Evans.

The mother says in her Thirlwall testimony that she got her own phone records. The calls to the parents were logged and the mother's times are one hour out with the documentary records.
