Geoff Chase: Canterbury University professor on the new evidence disputing Lucy Letby murder case

High insulin levels in babies - used to convict UK nurse Lucy Letby - could have occurred naturally. 

A jury found the 35-year-old guilty of the murder or attempted murder of 14 babies.

Canterbury University professor, Geoff Chase, assisted in the report.
