SubscribeI dare not read the articles on Letby. I use the Sally Clark miscarriage of justice to illustrate to my students how bad statistics can be cruel.
Almost exactly what one of the academic statisticians says about the Letby case in the Telegraph.
I’ve read the Telegraph article, and while it may not say ‘Letby is innocent’ in so many words, it positively shouts it by implication.
There are elements in Letby’s case that do rather imply that she was scapegoated for issues and errors at a massively malfunctioning hospital. If that’s the case it’s rather appalling and even if she is innocent far too many involved parties will never allow that to come to light.
