Will the Thirlwall report change the debate about Lucy Letby?

Lucy Letby, a nurse, was sentenced to life in prison for the murders of seven babies and the attempted murder of seven others. Despite her convictions, opinions remain divided on her guilt. She is the focus of an inquiry led by Lady Justice Thirlwall, who is examining whether hospital managers responded appropriately to suspicions about her.

The inquiry, which began in 2015, is not set to release its findings for nearly a year. This article examines the impact the Thirlwall Report may have on the debate surrounding Letby's convictions.
