Retired consultant paediatrician Dewi Evans was tasked by police to look at a series of collapses on the Countess of Chester Hospital’s neonatal…
Lucy Letby’s legal team failed in a bid to throw out the evidence of the prosecution’s lead medical expert.
He wrote a number of reports about his findings and went on to give evidence from last October onwards about many of the children that Letby was said to have harmed. However Mr Justice Goss refused the application and said it was for the jury “to determine, as with any witness, his reliability, having regard to all the evidence in the case”.
In one exchange, Dr Evans said he found the suggestion “insulting”, adding: “I’m completely independent. I have been giving evidence in court for a long time. I know about impartiality. I know about the rules.Dr Evans also denied he had “touted” for his role when he sent an email to the National Crime Agency in May 2017, ahead of his involvement with Cheshire Police.In his message, he wrote: “Incidentally I’ve read about the high rate of babies in Chester and that the police are investigating.
In February, jurors were told that a report from Dr Evans in an unrelated civil case had been described by a senior judge as “worthless”.
