Lucy Letby has lost her appeal against a conviction for the attempted murder of a girl at the Court of Appeal.

Lucy Letby has lost her appeal against a conviction for the attempted murder of a girl at the Court of Appeal.
Convicted serial child killer has asked judges for permission to appeal his latest conviction for the attempted murder of child K. On Thursday, the former nurse’s lawyers told the court of Appeal that the charge of attempted murder should be “upheld” as an “abuse of process” due to the “excessive and irreparable harm” caused by media coverage of his first trial and that a new trial it should not be done.
Her lawyers did not argue that the sentence was unsafe because the former nurse maintains her innocence.
After the hearing in London, three senior judges rejected Letby’s request.
Lord Justice William Davis, sitting with Lord Justice Jeremy Baker and Ms. Judge McGowan said at the start of his judgment that they had “denied leave” to Letby to challenge the sentence. The former nurse, who watched the hearing via video link from HMP Bronzefield wearing a green dress, showed no reaction as the judges delivered their verdict.
