Opening the press conference, MP Sir David Davis, who has been assisting Letby’s legal team, described her convictions as “one of the major injustices of modern times”.
The CCRC confirmed it had “received a preliminary application in relation to Ms Letby’s case, and work has begun to assess the application”.
A CCRC spokesperson said: “We are aware that there has been a great deal of speculation and commentary surrounding Lucy Letby’s case, much of it from parties with only a partial view of the evidence.
“We ask that everyone remembers the families affected by events at the Countess of Chester Hospital between June 2015 and June 2016.”
The spokesperson said it was not the CCRC’s job to “determine innocence or guilt in a case”, and said that it was a “matter for the courts”.
The body said it would now assess the application and determine whether there was new evidence which presented a reasonable chance of a conviction being overturned.
