Court of Appeal judgments

    There will be, in the not too distant future, a thread on what will be the ongoing Appeal Court proceedings after referral. The conviction will not survive real challenge now that more scrutiny has been given by countless experts. I would doubt that if a retrial is ordered that the CPS would now be able to present a prosecution. Evans theories are in tatters, the statistical case fails schoolboy scrutiny, the confessions are now known to be nothing of the sort and all of this would be brutally exposed in a retrial with all that is now known. The CPS are not unaware of this. The CPS can't present a new theory for reasons too obvious to explain.
     The two judgments so far are so routine as to be almost perfunctory. The next appearance before the COA will be anything but.

There might be a long wait as her representative keeps adding new grounds - bearing in mind how long it's taking for Bamber and she has submitted even more grounds than he has.

If it gets to the Court they will likely have access to all the evidence that was not admitted for the trial from Letby's experts.

We don't know how compelling the new reports will be - noone's seen them we only have Shoo Lee's summaries of a few. We do know that one of the experts Neena Modi agrees with Dewi Evan's basic premise that many of the babies suffered air embolism. The experts reports also do not have input from the specialisms that were called at trail - pathology and radiology.

If by some chance convictions are quashed there will certainly be a retrial.
