An international panel of medical experts has provided case summaries on all 17 babies who featured in the 10-month trial of Letby.
The former neonatal nurse, 35, is serving 15 whole life orders in prison after being found guilty of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder a further seven between June 2015 and June 2016.
McDonald said: “The fresh evidence totally undermines the prosecution case at trial.
Here, The i Paper takes a look at the new claims for Letby’s innocence.
A 14-strong panel of experts concluded that no criminal offences had been committed and instead provided alternative causes of death.

Last month, lawyers for the families of Letby’s victims branded the panel’s findings as “full of analytical holes” and “a rehash” of the defence case.

Prosecutors said the boy was murdered by an injection of air into the bloodstream, which caused an air embolism where bubbles form and block the blood supply.
Baby 2 (Child B)
But the panel found no evidence of air embolism and said the child had collapsed from thrombosis.
The prosecution said the boy was murdered with air forced down his feeding tube and into his stomach.
Baby 4 (Child D)
The panel found no evidence of air embolism and ruled the child died of systemic sepsis, pneumonia and disseminated intravascular coagulation (blood clotting). Issues with failures to give relevant antibiotics were also identified.

The Crown said Letby murdered the twin boy with an injection of air into the bloodstream, and she also deliberately caused bleeding to the infant.
Baby 6 (Child F)
The panel ruled that the child’s insulin levels and insulin/C-peptide ratio did not prove that exogenous insulin was used and was within the norm for pre-term infants.
Baby 7 (Child G)
The panel said there was no evidence to support air injection into the stomach or overfeeding.
Baby 8 (Child H)
Prosecutors said the nurse sabotaged the girl’s care in some way, which led to two profound oxygen desaturations.
Baby 9 (Child I)
The panel said it found no evidence of air injections and that the baby died of breathing complications caused by respiratory distress syndrome and chronic lung disease.
Jurors could not reach a verdict on an allegation of attempted murder. The prosecution identified no specific form of harm, but they said Letby did something to cause the collapse of the girl.
Baby 11 (Child K)
Among its findings, the panel said there was no evidence to support a dislodged endotracheal tube (ETT), and the clinical deterioration was caused by the use of an undersized ETT.
The Crown said the nurse poisoned the boy with insulin. The panel said the infant’s insulin-related levels were within the norm for pre-term infants and there was no evidence of deliberate administration.
Prosecutors said Letby attempted to murder Child L’s twin brother by injecting air into his bloodstream.
Baby 14 (Child N)
The panel said there was no air embolism and it was likely his blood oxygen levels dropped due to his haemophilia condition or routine cares, which was “exacerbated” by repeated attempts to insert a breathing tube.
The prosecution said Letby murdered the triplet boy by injecting air into his bloodstream and inflicting trauma to his liver.
Baby 16 (Child P)
Baby 17 (Child Q)
The panel said there was no evidence to support air injection into the stomach and the child deteriorated because he had early symptoms of a serious gastrointestinal problem, or sepsis.
