Will Lucy Letby Appeal Her Sentence?
No, Lucy Letby will not appeal her case. She has been sentenced to life imprisonment and there is no chance of ever being released. She will have to complete her term in jail without any possibility of bail or appeal. Judge Mr. Justice Gross ordered Lucy Letby to reflect on her crimes and spend the rest of her life imprisoned.
“You are now 33… I have to determine whether the seriousness of the offenses is sufficiently high that I should not make a minimum term. These are offenses of very exceptional seriousness. This was a cruel, calculated, and cynical campaign of child murder involving the smallest and most vulnerable of children… You created situations so that collapses and the causes of collapses could not be obvious. You checked up on parents… There was a deep malevolence bordering on sadism… You have no remorse… There are no mitigating factors… the offenses are of sufficient severity to require a whole life order. I sentence you to prison for life. I direct that the early release provisions do not apply. A whole life order on every offense and you will spend the rest of your life in prison.”
