The verdict has been delivered. The appeals denied. But for many the fight over one of Britain's most chilling and controversial criminal cases is not over.
Lucy Letby is serving 15 whole-life sentences after being found guilty of murdering seven babies and attempting to kill seven more. The case transfixed the nation, but following the verdicts, questions about her guilt become urgent and unsettling.
Conviction: The Case of Lucy Letby is a gripping, bold, feature documentary that delves into the turbulent fallout of the trials.
As Letby’s new lawyer sets out to prove her innocence, the case reignites in the public eye. Several of the families affected accuse the defence of turning proceedings into a spectacle, even as the prosecution’s expert witness faces mounting questions over the reliability of his testimony. Amidst this fierce public battle, one family speaks for the first time about their experience with Lucy Letby and their newborn.
As the evidence is closely re-examined the film touches on the fragile idea of truth in a case shaped by complex science and bitterly contested interpretations. With exclusive access to central figures and a series of shocking revelations that repeatedly shift the ground beneath the case, Conviction challenges the audience to ask: how do we know what we think we know, and what if we’re wrong?
