‘No scientific justification’ to say former nurse definitely poisoned babies with insulin, according to study authors
Prof Geoff Chase, one of the world’s foremost experts on the effect of insulin on pre-term babies, told the Guardian it was “very unlikely” anyone had administered potentially lethal doses to two of the infants.
“I am here to say that the evidence presented – and its interpretation in particular – has far more than the one interpretation given, and that you cannot assume poisoning given the reasonable likelihood of all the rest. I’m saying there’s a very strong level of reasonable doubt.”
Shannon said there was “no scientific justification whatsoever” for the prosecution’s claim that there was “no doubt that these were poisonings”.
