Kathleen Folbigg's Pardon Sparks Debate on Science and Justice.

Kathleen Folbigg, an Australian woman convicted of killing her four infant children, has been pardoned after an inquiry upheld new evidence which cast "reasonable doubt" on her convictions. The evidence suggested they died due to rare genetic abnormalities. Ms Folbigg, who always maintained her innocence, made two unsuccessful appeals against her conviction and an earlier inquiry upheld the guilty verdict. She could eventually claim a substantial compensation payment from the state if her convictions are overturned.
