This is a gross miscarriage of justice. I say that as someone who has spent decades in obstetrics and who knows what premature babies die from. They die from the things that happened on that unit — and those things were never explored.
Prof. Chris Fitzpatrick
Baby D needed antibiotics. There is documentation that they were not given in time. That is a cause of death that any obstetrician would recognise. It was not explored at trial.
Prof. Chris Fitzpatrick
When a judge tells a jury they do not need to establish how a murder was committed, I find that extraordinary. The mechanism of death is not a technicality — it is the entire basis of the charge.
