In an interview with Sarah Scire for Nieman Lab, Rachel Aviv points out another error in the Letby shift / suspicious events chart:

" 'this diagram actually had an error: for one of the suspicious events, it showed Letby working a night shift, when she was actually working a day shift, so there should not have been an X by her name. Even after this discrepancy had been addressed at trial, the police still used that diagram. This is just one example of why the work product of the communications team for a police force should not be presented and treated as if it were journalism.' "

Aviv was interviewed because she wrote the seminal New Yorker article on the Letby case (https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2024/05/20/lucy-letby-was-found-guilty-of-killing-seven-babies-did-she-do-it). The article was blocked to UK online readers during her recent retrial for legal reasons (https://theconversation.com/why-the-new-yorker-blocked-uk-website-readers-from-its-lucy-letby-story-an-expert-explains-230255).
