The first public statement by a former UK Supreme Court Justice questioning the safety of the Lucy Letby convictions. Lord Sumption's op-ed specifically addresses the statistical-evidence architecture of the prosecution case — including the shift-chart selection-effect problem and the absence of independent statistical review — and applies the Cannings principle (that convictions should not rest on medical expert opinion alone where there is a credible alternative natural explanation) to the Letby case. Represents the highest-profile judicial intervention on conviction safety to date.

Collective intervention by senior members of the criminal Bar — including senior Queen's Counsel and legal academics — on the expert-evidence standards raised by the Lucy Letby case. The letter addresses the use of expert witnesses in neonatal-death prosecutions, the absence of independent statistical review, and the structural lessons for the criminal-justice system. Signed by senior criminal silks and legal academics, it represents the first collective Bar-level public statement on the conviction-safety question.
