The woman who spent 20 years in prison over the deaths of her infant children has finally had her convictions for the offences of murder and manslaughter quashed by the highest criminal court in the state, the New South Wales Court of Criminal Appeal.
It's been a long road to freedom for Kathleen Folbigg, who was once the ‘most hated' person in Australia, accused and then convicted of killing her four young children.
According to a representative from the Australian Academy of Science:
“Kathleen Folbigg was convicted for murdering her children by suffocation, yet there was no pathology-based evidence of suffocation of the children
Medical and pathological evidence was available to indicate natural causes of death of the Folbigg children
