About this listen

One year ago, Lucy Letby was convicted of murdering seven babies while working as a nurse at the Countess of Chester Hospital. Many believe she was the victim of a miscarriage of justice - and in this week's bonus episode, Neil and Andy answer your questions on the idea that police were briefing against Letby to journalists during her trial. Andy covered that trial - so did that really happen? And can we have confidence in her conviction? Listen to find out what The Crime Agents think about the story that shocked the nation.

Neil and Andy also respond to your questions about gangs: how much is social media used to recruit youngsters? Do teachers have a role to play in stopping kids from being exploited by gangs? And how common is it for women to play important roles in gang crime?

Plus Neil explains why it's right that MI5 and the government aren't forced to reveal all their intelligence when banning groups such as Palestine Action. And finally - Neil and Andy both reflect on some of the most memorable cases and stories they've worked on in their long careers fighting and covering crime.
