Description

Lucy Letby – a young nurse – was found guilty of the murder of 7 premature babies, and the attempted murder of 7 more. A serial killer whose target was not just the youngest and most vulnerable, but those entrusted to her care. The UK legal system – amidst overwhelming public vitriol – threw the book at her. She is currently serving an unprecedented 15 whole-life sentences in prison. But, is everything as clear as it seems? Our host Amanda Knox – herself a victim of the court of public opinion – asks: if this case is really as open and shut as the world believes. Or if, there may be room for reasonable doubt as to Lucy Letby’s guilt…

The Verdict

2026/02/24

Lucy Letby was branded Britain’s most prolific child serial killer. The headlines were instant and unanimous: guilty. Case closed...or maybe not. In the wake of her conviction, a quiet rebellion began among journalists, statisticians, and senior doctors who question whether the evidence told the full story. Amanda Knox explores how one narrative took hold — and why another is now fighting to be heard. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Countess

2026/03/03

The Countess of Chester Hospital sits on the edge of the historic town of Chester, concrete, functional, unremarkable. On the surface, it’s entirely typical. But what happened inside would become one of the most consequential events in modern British history. In this episode, we examine the setting at the centre of the Lucy Letby case — and the tragic events inside that set everything in motion. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The 'Misfits & Ghouls'

2026/03/31

As Lucy Letby is handed her sentence, a growing group of controversial voices begins to question whether the case is as clear as it seemed.

The Retrial

2026/04/07

At Lucy Letby’s retrial, the prosecution leans on a single, powerful eyewitness account, but cracks begin to appear in the story the jury is asked to believe. When a previously unseen email surfaces, it raises troubling questions about whether that testimony was ever as certain as it seemed. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Nurses

2026/04/14

A profession under pressure. A culture of blame. And from inside the hospital environment, a perspective on the case few have heard. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Experts

2026/04/21

In court, one interpretation of the evidence helped secure a conviction. But as concerns about the case quietly grow, a panel of international experts comes together to re-examine the medical evidence from the ground up, uncovering details the jury never heard and raising serious questions about the verdict itself. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Slow with no actual evidence

This podcast is so slow and doesn’t go into any detail regarding the case or why Lucy might be innocent. I hope it gets better but so far it’s a dud.
