Summary
In February last year Lucy Letby’s new defence team told a press conference there was no medical evidence of air embolism in the babies she murdered and attacked. Professor Shoo Lee said he had studied all the literature to make his claim.
But today we hear his claim was wrong. And the literature to prove it was there all the time.
In this episode, Neonatologist Professor Paul Clark explains why what Lucy Letby’s expert panel said is wrong. Using old and new case studies, he debunks what is currently the cornerstone of Lucy Letby’s defence.

| 0:10.6 | Our interview with a senior independent neonatologist has cast serious doubt about what's become the cornerstone of her defence case. |
| 0:19.2 | It also questioned how her panel's exhaustive research |
| 0:22.5 | missed numerous papers, which appear to prove a key aspect of the prosecution case. |

| 1:04.2 | Here's where Paul objects. He says he doesn't believe that what Professor Lee said there to be true. |
| 1:12.4 | And the reason for that is because he's found evidence, actual cases reported by other doctors in the medical literature that already exist. Those cases suggest air can pass between the veins and arteries and manifest |
| 1:18.3 | itself in the rash. What Paul is saying, essentially, is that these cases were either missed |
| 1:23.9 | or misinterpreted by Professor Lee when he announced those findings to the press |
| 1:28.3 | conference. His contention is, and his panel's contention, it must be said, is that if a baby |
| 1:35.4 | has ur-injected or inadvertently gets into the venous system, then it can never result in a rush |
| 1:41.2 | or an immediate rush. That's essentially what are you saying. |
| 1:44.7 | So sure babies can come to harm, may die from ur-embolism if it's confined to the veins. |
| 1:51.5 | But without it being an arterial ear-embolism, you're never going to see this unusual rush |
| 1:56.7 | or indeed any blotchy, patchy skin discoloration. |
| 2:00.6 | First of all, he was saying it can't flow across the |
| 2:02.5 | heart, across that for Amnavali. But secondly, it would say most of that herb bubble, if it gets into, |
| 2:08.6 | whether willfully or inadvertently, into the venous blood, it would be pumped by the right ventricle |
| 2:14.1 | up to the lungs. And he was also saying that if any herb bubbles reach the lungs, |
