## Resource

On today’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley sit down with investigative author Christopher Morris to discuss his new book, Reasonable Doubt: Examining the Case of Lucy Letby . With questions continuing to mount regarding the integrity of the neonatal nurse’s 2023 conviction, Morris presents a forensic re-examination of one of the most controversial cases in modern Britain. Challenging the medical and statistical evidence presented at trial, he details the systemic failures at the Countess of Chester Hospital. These include chronic understaffing and poor clinical oversight that he argues were overlooked in favour of a “killer nurse” narrative. The episode explores why independent experts are now calling for a dispassionate review, the risks of institutional “group think” and what this case reveals about the British legal system’s ability to handle complex, expert-driven medical testimony.
