Bohin Defends Letby Conviction

0:00On March 31st, Dr. Sandy Bowen, the neonatologist who was a star expert witness in Lucy Leppie's 2022 murder trial, just dropped some. Real talk on the Daily Mail's trial podcast. She dug into thousands of pages of baby notes for the National Crime Agency before the trial even kicked off, backing up the prosecution's call that. Leppie deliberately harmed infants. The jury hid her with seven murder counts and seven attempted murders, slapping her with 15 whole life sentences. Lately though, a wave of high-profile voices has been pushing hard that this is a massive miscarriage of justice. Led by his new defense squad, led by Barrister Mark McDonald since September 2024, has been loud about overturning it all. Even Dr. Shulee, whose old paper on air embolisms, got cited in court, flipped sides and chaired a panel of 14 experts in February 20, 25, claiming no foul play. Bowen noise has reputation shredded, especially Bowens and the staff at Countess of Chester

1:02Hospital. Critics blast the place for substandard care and understaffing, saying the babies just died naturally because they were super premature and sickly. Parents are hurting back from all this back and forth, and frontline docs feel the unfair heat after years of solid work. In the interview, Bowen shuts down those claims, point blank. On air injections, she says they use way more than Lee's paper-like, weird skin changes doctors had never seen during collapses. No worse than anywhere else, she insists. And the babies, mostly stable, no downward trends in vitals, they weren't crashing on their own. Bowen wonders if these defenders even cracked open all those case notes, standing firm that the evidence screams deliberate harm. This debates far from over, but her deep dive keeps the conviction looking rock solid.
