Lucy Letby - the courtroom drama and online battles
The scale of Lucy Letby鈥檚 crimes, the extreme vulnerability of her victims and the unanswered questions about the nurse have all combined to stoke global interest in the case.
When former nurse Lucy Letby was convicted of murdering babies last year, news channels rolled on the story, and her mugshot was splashed across front pages and websites around the world. The scale of Letby鈥檚 crimes, the extreme vulnerability of her victims and the unanswered questions about the nurse have all combined to stoke interest in the case. Public outcry quickly led to the announcement of a public inquiry. There was blanket coverage. Then the news cycle moved on, and Lucy Letby fell out of the headlines. But that wasn鈥檛 the only reason things went quiet. In this episode of our Reporter Reads podcast, our north of England correspondent Judith Moritz reveals why the coverage was so restricted, and why that information can now be reported.
