 Nurse convicted of murdering 7 babies at hospital neonatal unit loses bid to appeal

A three-judge panel of Britain's Court of Appeal heard the case in April and released its decision on Friday.

A jury at Manchester Crown Court had found her guilty of the crimes, which took place between June 2015 and June 2016 at the neonatal unit at the Countess of Chester Hospital in northwestern England.


Most defendants in British court cases don't have an automatic right to appeal. They must seek permission to appeal on a set of narrowly defined legal issues.
