This week, Liz and Caroline review what the jury heard about the death of baby C, described by one nurse as the smallest baby she had ever seen.

In this episode, we’ll also hear texts Lucy Letby shared with a colleague after this night shift, as well as testimony from the prosecution's expert witnesses who say Baby D did not die of natural causes.

This week, Caroline and Liz begin outside the crown court where Liz goes over the opening statements of both the prosecution and the defence.

We’ll also hear from David Banks, a media law expert, who explains the fine line journalists tread when reporting ongoing trials.
