Can be both, you can think that there's unanswered questions but also believe that the correct decision was made based on the evidence presented at the time.

None of us sat through every day of the trial so its near impossible to say but there's enough people who have far more knowledge in this area, and have studied the case closely, who have doubts so surely you'd want to look again to ensure everything was correct.

Indeed, saying there are legitimate questions about the evidence used to convict her is not the same thing as saying she is innocent.

I’m not even sure it needs to be as far as ‘innocent’ just that the trial and the evidence presented/not presented seems to have been v questionable.

I guess you could ask why has there been such a campaign in the first place? The bits I’ve read - I’ve not watched any documentaries - appear to be from legitimate sources.

Because she’s got a legal team trying to get her out. I’ll refer back to the statement release by the courts saying that what’s said online and the facts of the case are two very different things. We weren’t in the room, we aren’t legal experts. Everyone in the media pushing this is making money from it because true crime is hot and it’s a hot young women perp so good internet fodder.

When her well funded and well motivated legal team manages to put together a case that justice hasn’t been done I’ll listen but until then I’ll go with IMO one of the best justice systems we have in the knowledge that if a good case can be made for her innocence then it will likely over turn it.

What is it saying? Should she or should she not be in prison?

The media don’t typically run around trying to get convicted baby killers acquitted just because true crime is popular - this is the first such case I can think of, but presumably you have other examples?

And without meaning to be too crass, I don’t think Lucy Letby fits the media’s typical definition of a “hot young woman”.

I’m not sure that serial baby killers are the ‘go to’ for the media/others to try to defend/raise questions about convictions.
Private Eye have been covering the case quite a bit. You might find it interesting.
