Amanda Knox has revealed that she “became disturbed” by some of her findings after investigating the Lucy Letby case for her new podcast. The former nurse is serving 15 whole-life sentences for murdering seven babies and attempting to murder seven others at the Countess of Chester Hospital between 2015 and 2016.
Speaking on Good Morning Britain, Knox said she did not approach the case with a presumption of innocence but instead with an understanding of how women are vilified publicly. She added that her podcast, titled Doubt: The Case of Lucy Letby, took around two years to produce and uncovered evidence that troubled her.
Knox, who was convicted and later acquitted over the death of Meredith Kercher in Italy, drew parallels between the public narratives surrounding Letby and her own case. She emphasised the importance of allowing alternative narratives to be heard, noting that people were afraid to voice dissent due to the toxicity of the conversation.
Knox's podcast series examines the evidence in the Letby case and includes interviews with experts. She said she felt an “uncomfortable shock of recognition” at how Letby was being portrayed as “evil” in the media, and stressed that factors beyond evidence can distort public perception.
