An expert group released a medical summons to the 17 babies involved in the Lucy Letby killing process.
The former nurse of the Countess of the Chester hospital was convicted in 2023 for the murder of seven babies and an attempt to kill seven others. A year later, she was convicted of another census of attempted murder.
Lethby, who fulfills 15 lifelong commandments, has always denied the allegations.
On Thursday, a group of 14 medical experts provided their cases for all babies presented in Letby’s 10-month test.
The summaries were submitted to the Criminal Case Reviewing Commission by Leutby Lawyer Mark McDonald in an attempt to clear her name.
The court concluded that no crimes had been committed in the Chester hospital in 2015 and 2016.

Instead, she provided alternative reasons for the worsening of babies as follows:
Baby 1 (known as a child A in the test): The prosecutor’s office said the boy was killed by an injection of air into the blood, which caused air embolism, in which balloons were formed and block the blood supply. The panel did not find evidence of air embolism and said the child had died of thrombosis, where a blood clot was formed in a vessel.
Baby 2 (child b): The prosecutor’s office said Leutby had tried to kill the twin sister of a child A, and also inject air into his blood. The panel did not find evidence of air embolism and said the child had collapsed by thrombosis.
Baby 3 (child with): The prosecutor’s office said the boy had been killed with air, forced to eat his food tube and in his stomach. The group said the child died after an ineffective resuscitation of collapse after “acute obstruction of the small intestine”, which is unknowingly.
Baby 4 (child D): The prosecutor’s office said the girl was killed by an injection of air into the blood. The panel does not find evidence of air embolism and ruled that the child had died of systemic sepsis, pneumonia and disseminated intravascular coagulation (blood clot). Problems were also identified to give corresponding antibiotics.

Baby 5 (Child E): The crown said the Letion killed the boy twin with an injection of air into the blood, and she also deliberately caused bleeding for the baby. The panel said there was no evidence of air embolism and bleeding caused either by a lack of oxygen before birth or by a congenital state of the blood vessels.
Baby 6 (child f): The prosecutor’s office said Leutby had tried to kill a twin brother by administering insulin. The panel has ruled that the insulin levels of the child and the ratio of insulin/C-peptide do not prove that exogenous insulin has been used and are within the norm for babies before magic. He added that there was poor medical management of the prolonged hypoglycaemia of the child.
Baby 7 (child g): The prosecutor’s office said Leutby had tried to kill the girl by feeding her with milk and forcing air on the dining pipe. The panel said there was no evidence to support air injection into the stomach or eating. Vomiting and clinical worsening of the baby were found to be due to infection.
Baby 8 (Child H): The jurors cleared the years for a census for attempted murder and failed to sentence at the second issue. Prosecutors said the nurse sabotage the girl’s care in some way, which led to two deep oxygen despatations. The panel said the deterioration was due to the medical poor control of the pneumothorax of the voltage, where the air was trapped between the lungs and the chest wall.

Baby 9 (child I): The prosecutor’s office said Leutby killed the baby by injecting air into his blood and stomach. The panel said it did not detect data on air injections and that the baby had died of respiratory complications caused by respiratory distress syndrome and chronic pulmonary disease.
Baby 10 (child J): The jurors could not have a sentence on charges of attempted murder. There was no specific form of harm by the prosecutor’s office, but they said that Leutby did something that would cause the girl’s collapse. The panel said the deterioration was caused by sepsis and there was no evidence to support the malicious obstruction of the respiratory tract.
Baby 11 (Child K): The prosecutor’s office said Leutby had tried to kill the girl by deliberately throwing his respiratory tube. Among its discoveries, the group said there was no evidence to support dried endotracheal tube (ETT) and clinical deterioration caused by the use of undervalued ETT.
Baby 12 (child l): The crown said the nurse poisoned the boy with insulin. The group said the baby’s insulin levels are within the premier infants norm and there is no evidence of intentional administration.

Baby 13 (child M): Prosecutors said Leutby tried to kill a twin brother by inserting air into his blood. The group said there was no evidence of air embolism and its collapse was caused by sepsis or heart problem.
Baby 14 (child n): The crown said the boy was a victim of an attempt to kill by a throat injury and injection of air into his blood. The panel said there was no air embolism and probably oxygen levels in his blood had dropped due to his state of hemophilia or routine care, which was “exacerbated” through repeated attempts to install a breathable tube.
Baby 15 (child o): The prosecutor’s office said Leutby killed the boy on the triplet by injecting air into his blood and injuring his liver. The panel said it died of liver damage caused by traumatic birth, leading to bleeding in the abdomen and deep shock.
Baby 16 (child p): Prosecutors said a fly killed a brother of a child o by injected him with air. The group said there was no evidence in support of this mechanism and that it had died of a collapsed lung, which was “neopimically managed”.
Baby 17 (Child Q): The jurors could not have a sentence on charges of attempted murder. The crown said Leutby tried to kill the boy by injecting fluid and possibly air down the dining pipe. The panel said there was no evidence to support air injection into the stomach and the child worsened as there were early symptoms of a serious gastrointestinal problem or sepsis.
