Lucy Letby was convicted of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder another six at the Countess of Chester Hospital's neo-natal unit between June 2015 and June 2016 .
She was acquitted of two counts of attempted murder, but there were six further charges on which jurors couldn't decide.
CPS said it was intending to run a retrial to put one of those undecided charges before a new jury.
There was no public hearing, and journalists weren’t told about Letby ’s grounds for appeal.
Lucy Letby was found guilty of injecting air into the bloodstreams of some infants, causing air embolism.
During the trial, much was made of changes in skin colour observed on some of the babies.
Prosecution experts had based some of their evidence on Dr Lee ’s paper, although he hadn’t been called to give evidence.
Now he was appearing on behalf of the defence, appearing via webcam from 3,500 miles away.
For Letby 's defence, it was a basis for appeal, but the prosecution disagreed.
Sceptics appeared, including Richard Gill , a statistician in the Netherlands .
