Prosecution Costs as at August 2023 for the Lucy Letby Trial
|FoI Release
Request
I would like to ask what the prosecution costs were in the recent trial and sentencing of Lucy Letby at Manchester Crown Court please?
Response
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) can confirm that as of 29 August 2023 the total prosecution costs stand at £2,504,245.06.
Please note that the CPS does not record time spent by internal lawyers, paralegals and administrative staff on a case-by-case basis and therefore we cannot calculate the full prosecution costs regarding this specific case. The above figure accounts for counsel, experts and presentational fees incurred so far.
