2 w. ago Conviction: The Case of Lucy Letby review – documentary probes Britain’s most notorious baby killer

Channel 4’s film follows the fight to overturn Letby’s conviction, questioning expert testimony and exposing deep divisions over whether she is guilty or the victim of a miscarriage of justiceIs Lucy Letby innocent? Or, to put it another way, is there now enough reasonable doubt to declare her conviction unsafe? This documentary’s answer to the second question could hardly be clearer: yes.Letby was declared to be the biggest child serial killer in modern Britain, though she could yet go down in history as the subject of our era’s most serious miscarriage of justice. Public opinion, media mythology and the law turn as slowly as an oil tanker. Letby could walk free or she could end up the subject of unending and fruitless debate, in a kind of permanent standoff with her accusers, like the Menendez brothers in the US, contentiously convicted of killing their parents in 1989 and still in prison.

3 w. ago Records tumble as Phil Salt’s stunning ton leads England to T20 rout of South Africa

2nd T20: England, 304-2, bt South Africa, 158, by 146 runsHosts hit their highest T20 total to go level in the seriesEngland made history, and for the first time more than 300 runs, on an extraordinary night in Manchester as they buried South Africa under a mountain of runs and shredded ­statistics. The highest total in the team’s T20 history was turbocharged by a brilliant opening stand of 126 between Phil Salt and Jos Buttler and by the nation’s highest individual score, Salt knocking himself off the top of that chart with an unbeaten 141. So within a week and against the same opponents they have set national records for winning margins in both one-day internationals and now T20s, the difference here an almost comic 146 runs.From the very start, with boundaries struck off each of the first three balls of the day, Salt tore into South Africa’s bowling much as he would in time tear up the record books. The result was the third highest team total in the history of international T20s,...
