The former nurse is Britain's most prolific child serial killer
A childhood friend of Lucy Letby vowed never to agree with the jury's decision that the nurse is guilty on seven counts of murder and six counts of attempted murder.
"It is the most out-of-character accusation that you could ever put against Lucy. Think of your most kind gentle soft friend and think that they're being accused of harming babies." She also called Letby "the kindest person I have ever known" in the interview. Letby denied all the allegations as she gave evidence in the witness box for 14 days during the trial, which began last October. She denied doing anything harmful to any child and that the sudden collapses and deaths could have been due to natural causes, or for some unascertained reason, or from failure by others to provide appropriate care.
