I wrote in these pages soon afterwards about the strange band of misfits and ghouls who — convinced Letby is innocent and emboldened by conspiracy theorists online — travelled daily to Manchester Crown Court to see the woman in the dock who, they insist, is the real 'victim' in this case.

—It’s time for this Lucy Letby is innocent madness to stop, Liz Hull, Daily Mail, July 19, 2024

And later:

Today, though, she has this diverse band of fanatics and pseudo-scientists in her corner, who appear to come from all walks of society: well-to-do pensioners, middle-aged women, and the unemployed.

—Why the Lucy Letby conspiracy theorists are wrong, Liz Hull, Daily Mail, July 5, 2024.

And later still:

When we met the other day, Evans, a 74-year-old grandfather, told how his critics – people he calls “Poundshop Poirots” – had been trying to place a series of false stories about him in ­sympathetic newspapers.

—Guy Adams, Daily Mail, 5 October 2024

This is a little dedication to those solid souls who have laboured, some for years, to make the case for this Miscarriage of Justice.

“Poundshop Poirots”

I want to be very clear here, the label “Poundshop Poirot” is assigned with full irony, and as a thing of utmost honour. We Poundshop Poirots — I hope fervently to be included with this gang — do not have directly germane expertise, but we know a crock when we see it, and have spent hours into the night having our say about it.
