Addendum 25 October 2024

R -v- Letby - Courts and Tribunals Judiciary - Court of Appeal (Criminal Division) ruled that it was not unfair to try Letby for the attempted murder of Baby K

Letby applied for leave to appeal against her conviction in July 2024. The sole ground of the appeal was that the judge erred in refusing to stay the proceedings.
