Lucy Letby is modern Britain's most prolific child killer.

The former neonatal nurse has been convicted of killing seven newborns and attempting to kill seven more. But medical experts and

others have raised serious doubts about the evidence used to convict her, and some are now calling

this the greatest miscarriage of justice ever. In this exclusive interview, I speak to Lucy Lettby's

lawyer, Mark McDonald, who tells me he is 100% convinced

that she is innocent and reveals for the first time her state of mind in prison. Welcome to this

special Daily Tea with me, Camilla Tomini. As we've all been completely gripped by the Mandelson-Epstein scandal,

at the Countess of Chester Hospital. And recently, more evidence has emerged that suggests

systemic failings there. Now, as a new Netflix documentary makes public fresh footage

of let be being arrested in her pyjamas, a decision her parents call a complete

invasion of privacy. I spoke to Mark McDonnell, Lettby's Barrister, who has been leading the charge

for her retrial.

Mark McDonald, Lucy Lettby's barrister, thank you very much indeed for joining us again on the Daily Tea.

You referred Lucy's case to the Criminal Cases Review Commission last February. Can you just update us with the status of that?

So the thing about the CCRC is they don't give a running commentary. As much as I wish they would do, they don't really tell you the progress of the case. However, what I know is this. They are taking the application seriously. I have met with them in the past, and they're working, they're way through the several reports that are being given to them.

I would hope by now, I should say, that they've read the reports and the expert reports,
