Science vs. Certainty in the Courtroom The withdrawal of two experts from Lucy Letby's defence team raises significant questions about the intersection of science and certainty in the courtroom.
The case involves the convictions of a former neonatal nurse for murdering seven babies and attempting to murder seven others, with controversy surrounding the scientific credibility of some evidence.
Helen Shannon, a British chemical engineering expert, and Geoff Chase, a professor of bioengineering from New Zealand, had produced a 100 page report last year that cast doubt on Letby's convictions for poisoning two babies with insulin.
