Nurse Lucy Letby Lodges an Appeal Against Baby Murder Convictions
Nurse Lucy Letby is to appeal against all her convictions for murdering seven babies and attempting to kill another six.
Her legal team has lodged an application for permission to appeal according to the Court of Appeal Criminal Division.
Among her crimes, Letby injected babies with air and poisoned two with insulin at the Countess of Chester Hospital.
The 33-year-old was sentenced to a whole-life term in August.
Summing up at the end of her trial, judge Mr Justice Goss told the jury it was a case in which the prosecution "substantially, but not wholly" relied on circumstantial evidence.
News of her planned appeal comes after it was revealed a further court hearing will take place on 25 September where the Crown Prosecution Service will decide whether to pursue a retrial for six outstanding counts of attempted murder.
