This book examines the case of Lucy Letby, the former neonatal nurse convicted in the UK of the murder and attempted murder of babies in her care. Drawing on publicly available court records, trial reporting, and verified sources, it provides a clear and measured account of the investigation, the prosecution case, the defence arguments, and the legal process that led to conviction.
Rather than sensationalising events, this audiobook focuses on understanding how the case unfolded: how concerns were raised, how evidence was gathered, and how complex medical testimony was presented and interpreted in court. It also explores the wider questions the case raised about patient safety, whistleblowing, hospital culture, and accountability within healthcare systems.
Written in an accessible, responsible tone, this book is intended for listeners seeking an informed overview of one of the most significant criminal cases in recent British history. It does not speculate beyond the evidence presented at trial and avoids graphic detail, prioritising clarity, context, and factual accuracy throughout.
David Healy is an independent researcher and writer committed to the principle of fair trials and evidence-based justice. With a particular interest in cases involving complex forensic and medical evidence, he examines how assumptions, statistical misinterpretation, and institutional pressure can distort legal outcomes.
Driven by the belief that justice must withstand scrutiny—not headlines—Healy writes to challenge accepted narratives, amplify unanswered questions, and advocate for rigorous, transparent evaluation of evidence in the criminal courts.
