<p>Lucy Letby, a nurse in the United Kingdom who was found guilty of murdering seven newborn babies and trying to kill another six, has lodged a legal bid to appeal her conviction, court officials said Friday (September 15). She is accused of killing babies in the neonatal unit of a hospital in northwest England where she worked.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to the Staff at the Court of Appeal of England and Wales, Letby has sent an application for permission to appeal against all her convictions. A judge typically considers applications for permission to appeal against a lower crown court decision without a hearing. But the permission can still be sought at a full court hearing before two or three judges if this is refused.&nbsp;</p>
