A mother of a baby boy who attempted to murder has condemned the “disrespectful” endeavour to free her.
The parent expressed her anger and upset following the former nurse’s lawyers and an demanding a case review based on “new evidence”.
Yesterday (Tuesday, February 4), saw the panel present their findings at a London press conference concluding that the deaths of seven babies resulted from natural causes or “bad” medical care.
Dr Shoo Lee said during the two-hour press conference: “There was no medical evidence to support malfeasance causing death or injury in any of the 17 cases in the trial.”
He added: “We did not find murders. In all cases, death or injury were due to natural causes or just bad medical care.”
However, the mother of the baby boy who Letby, 35, is convicted of attempting to murder believes the conference was a “publicity stunt”.

“We want to hit back,” the parent, who cannot be legally named, told MailOnline.
“Every aspect of what they are doing is so disrespectful, it is very upsetting.
“They said the parents want to know the truth, but we’ve had the truth.
“We believe in the British justice system, we believe the jury made the right decision.
“We already have the truth and this panel of so-called experts don’t speak for us.”
The mother also explained how Conservative MP David Davis, who led the press conference, had “ignored her” when she emailed about his involvement.
She had attempted to raise concerns over “‘abusing his parliamentary position” to bid for Letby to walk free. “It’s outrageous,” she said.
“I told him exactly who I was and he didn’t respond.”
The mother said that Mr Davis introduced Dr Lee as the “star of the show”, using numbers to identify the children which “screamed disrespect”.
“This isn’t a show, this is our real lives,” she added.
“At one point, just as they had discussed an alarm being silenced on the unit, the panel fell about laughing when a phone alarm went off, it was like they were mocking what had gone on, which was extremely distasteful and inappropriate.”

The mother also explained how the suggestion of “new evidence” by the panel yesterday was “misleading” as Letby’s convictions had been examined extensively during her trial.
Letby is currently serving 15 whole-life orders for killing seven babies and attempting to kill seven more while working as a nurse on a neonatal unit between June 2015 and June 2016.
The mother added that she had “total confidence” in Cheshire Constabulary.
She said: “We have every faith in what they did and their continuing thorough investigation.
The convicted killer’s lawyers have now announced her case has been sent to the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC).
A CCRC spokesperson said: “We have received a preliminary application in relation to Ms Letby’s case, and work has begun to assess the application. We anticipate further submissions being made to us.
“It is not for the CCRC to determine innocence or guilt in a case, that’s a matter for the courts.”
They added that their role is to “find, investigate and if appropriate, refer potential miscarriages of justice to the appellate courts”.
