Overview
- Cheshire Constabulary, which issued a statement Friday, rejected Sir David Davis’s claims of rule‑breaking and warned that inaccurate campaigning risks undermining trust in the justice system.
- Sir David said in a Commons debate Thursday that he will write to the Director of Public Prosecutions to seek a review and urged police to give Letby’s legal team internal records such as policy and decision books, inquiry logs, and meeting minutes.
- The Crown Prosecution Service said the case went through two jury trials and an appeal was rejected in May 2024, and it remains confident in the verdicts.
- Davis alleged investigators cherry‑picked shift data linking collapses to Letby, relied on a poorly vetted expert, mishandled complex statistics, failed to disclose key material to the defence, and did not fully examine other possible causes or suspects.
- Letby is serving 15 whole‑life orders as the Criminal Cases Review Commission examines the convictions, and any DPP review request could trigger new oversight or disclosures with direct consequences for affected families and public confidence.
