One father, whose baby Letby tried to murder, told the Mail: ‘I’m disgusted and angry that Letby is appealing.’
‘As if we haven’t been through enough. We are trying to rebuild our lives and now this, it’s a joke of a system. I don’t understand on what grounds she can appeal – there were no mitigating factors in the trial.’
Letby’s application comes after a scientist launched a fundraising campaign claiming the case against her was built on ‘unreliable expert advice’ and ‘a bad grasp’ of science.
Californian-based Sarrita Adams, who describes herself as a scientific consultant for biotech start-up companies, is leading a group called Science on Trial.
The group, whose posts feature in the page where Letby ‘fans’ are talking about sending her mail, claims that her conviction ‘may represent the greatest miscarriage of justice that the UK has witnessed’.
She was cleared of two counts of attempted murder.

Others have condemned Letby ‘fans’ for sending her letters, asking: ‘Why would anybody want to write to a baby serial killer?’
However, the jury was unable to reach verdicts on six counts of attempted murder in relation to five children.

Cheshire police have confirmed they are reviewing the care of 4,000 children – every baby admitted to the unit and that of Liverpool Women’s Hospital, where Letby undertook training placements, during the footprint of her career, which began in September 2012.
As police continue to investigate Letby, one mother has revealed that the nurse took a ‘sickening’ photograph of her baby daughter with her feeding tube dislodged.
The child later collapsed soon after the neo-natal nurse finished her shift and had to be moved into intensive care.
She was subsequently diagnosed with cerebral palsy, a condition caused by brain damage, and her mother now fears her daughter was harmed by the serial killer.
The woman, who asked not to be identified, told the Mirror that she wants police to investigate and is taking legal action against the Countess of Chester Hospital.
Earlier this week, Dr Dewi Evans, the main prosecution expert at the trial told the Mail that he had reviewed the notes of babies dating back to June 2014 and believed three more children may have been killed and up to 15 others harmed by Letby.

He said he believed she had dislodged breathing tubes of babies before her ‘modus operandi’ changed to injecting air in June 2015.
Letby’s ten-month trial at Manchester Crown Court heard how she had a morbid fascination with her victims and tracked down their families on Facebook.
Sentencing her last month, Mr Justice James Goss Letby: ‘There was a deep malevolence bordering on sadism in your actions. You have shown no remorse.’
When handed her sentence, Letby became just the fourth woman to receive a whole life sentence in the UK, joining serial killer Rose West, the late Moors murderer and ‘Peterbourgho ditch murderer’ Joanna Dennehy.
Ian Carson, of the Prison Officers Association, told The Mirror: ‘There aren’t any restrictions on sending letters to someone in jail. This type of thing happens all the time.’
