For Valerie - The story of my sister 's death at the hands of her husband and its devastating aftermath

David French

Summary

In June 2019, Valerie French Kilroy was brutally murdered by her husband at their home near Westport, while her three young sons lay in bed. For her brother David and the rest of her family, it was the beginning of a battle against a system unprepared to protect the three innocent children whose father remains their legal guardian, despite being convicted of their mother's murder.
From the devastating shock of hearing of his sister's death to the multiple criminal trials before the guilty verdict was delivered, David describes the issues his family faced in the aftermath of Valerie's murder. He provides a deeply personal insight into Valerie's marriage and the hidden struggles she faced in the run-up to her murder.
This book is both a heartfelt tribute to Valerie's life and legacy and an urgent call to rethink the way our society responds to domestic homicide.

Reasonable Doubt - Examining the...

Christopher Morris

Christopher Morris believes Lucy Letby has been the victim of a miscarriage of justice, and that her guilty verdict is not beyond reasonable doubt. He is not the only one.Ever since the nurse was condemned to fifteen life sentences, highly-regarded professionals in their fields have gone on record to raise concerns about the evidence used to convict her. The science behind how her victims died, the reliance on circumstantial evidence, and the interpretation of the statistics used against Lucy Letby are all being questioned. Controversially, the defence did not call an expert witness to challenge the medical evidence presented by the prosecution. Nobody, except her lawyers, knows why. In a quest to find out if he is correct, the author has interviewed scores of those experts. He has also pored over the thousands of documents submitted to the Thirlwall Inquiry, which is examining what went wrong at the Countess of Chester Hospital, as well as the transcripts of the trial. He has pulled this vast amount of information together into an engrossing journey through the uncertainties many feel undermine the conviction of Lucy Letby.The answer matters for us all, as it raises serious questions about whether our justice system really does seek the truth.
