In which Dr Dewi Evans revises his view mid-stream, the Countess of Chester Hospital managers fail to downgrade the unit, parents speak of their experiences, and Dr Evans retires, sort of.

He said recently that he had not heard of a very rare condition where babies are able to produce too much insulin, which damns his allegation that LL injected insulin into a baby (can't remember how many, I think it was just the one).

I can't find this in the MDs that I have posted, so apologies to Dr Evans and MD.

It might be in part 8 page 2, if there was a page 2, but I have thrown that edition away, and have only page 1.

If she is just being interviewed she is free to leave, back to her cell in this case I assume. If you are arrested you are nor free to leave, but additional rights come into play.

But I would assume it is just down to what the police have, if they feel they have strong enough evidance they will go for the more formal route of an arrest if not they will just interview.

Edit - the police I think will stick to their procedure to arrest or interview irrespective of if the person is in prison or not.

Guidance on interviewing prisoners on page 55 of this Home Office ( edit: not college of policing) guidance. The guidance is based on PACE codes and seems pretty much valid for police and any other officer who has powers of arrest such as immigration officers.

If the prisoner were arrested lawfully the PACE 1984 grounds for arrest would have to be satisfied. As the prisoner is in prison some of those grounds would in many cases be more difficult to satisfy. Theoretically a prisoner could sue for unlawful arrest so it seems sensible to go down the voluntary interview route.
In any case they can always opt for a no comment response whether arrested or not, although the usual reasons provided for no comment may not be exactly compelling if offered up to a jury following an interview in these circumstances. The interviewee having had plenty of time to collect their thoughts prior to interview.

Expert witness 'changed mind' over deaths, say Lucy Letby lawyers

The nurse was convicted of the murders of seven babies and the attempted murder of seven more.
www.bbc.co.uk

Lucy Letby's lawyers have said they will be asking the Court of Appeal to immediately review all of her convictions because an expert witness "has now changed his mind on the cause of death of three babies".

Her barrister Mark McDonald told a news conference in London that the lead prosecution expert, Dr Dewi Evans, had altered his view about how the babies died.

He said: "Remarkably, Dr Evans has now changed his mind on the cause of death of three of the babies: Baby C, Baby I and Baby P."

Speaking at London's Royal Society of Medicine, Mr McDonald said: "The primary grounds of appeal at the previous hearings related to the admissibility before the jury of the evidence of the lead prosecution expert Dr Dewi Evans.

"The defence argued twice at trial that Dr Evans' evidence should be disregarded. This was refused by the trial judge.

"It was then later argued in the Court of Appeal, and was refused in the court of appeal."

He said that "remarkably" Dr Dewi Evans had changed his mind over the mechanism of death involving three babies.

"The defence will argue that Dr Evans is not a reliable expert, and all the convictions are not safe," he said.
 
The New Yorker published concerns about the scientific validity of parts of the trial on 13 May 2024, which Private Eye could not.

Letby expert witness Dr Dewi Evans denies 'changed mind' claim

Indeed.

A doctor has said claims he has changed his mind over the cause of death for three of Lucy Letby’s victims are “unsubstantiated” and “inaccurate”.

Retired consultant paediatrician Dr Dewi Evans responded to the assertions of Letby’s barrister, Mark McDonald, who said the prosecution’s lead medical witness had altered his views on how the infants had died at the Countess of Chester hospital’s neonatal unit.


McDonald told reporters he was immediately seeking permission from the court of appeal to relook at her case on the grounds that Evans was “not a reliable expert” and the former nurse’s convictions for murder and attempted murder were unsafe.

On Tuesday, Evans said: “Mr Mark McDonald’s observations regarding my evidence is unsubstantiated, unfounded, inaccurate.

“His method of presenting his information reflects clear prejudice and bias. I find his style most unedifying, most unprofessional.

“It’s highly disrespectful to the families of babies murdered and harmed by Lucy Letby.”

Evans said the first ruling by three court of appeal of judges “provided a very thorough review of the evidence” presented at Letby’s first trial, which lasted 10 months.

He said: “They were supportive of my evidence. They supported the verdict of the Manchester trial unreservedly. I am not in receipt of any information that indicates that the appeal court judges were mistaken.”

Letby was convicted of murdering Child C, Child I and P by forcing air down a nasogastric tube and into their stomachs.

Evans said the evidence of Letby’s involvement in the earlier deteriorations and the event that led to the death of Child I, a baby girl, in October 2015 was “compelling and overwhelming”.

The evidence from numerous sources noting the cause of death in June 2016 for Child P, a triplet boy, and Letby’s involvement was “consistent and considerable”, he said.
