"Possible Appeal: Kathleen Folbigg's Convictions for Killing 4 Children Under Review"

Kathleen Folbigg, once dubbed "Australia's worst female serial killer," may have her convictions for killing her four children overturned after spending 20 years in prison. A government inquiry recommended that an Australian court consider clearing her criminal record, following her pardon earlier this year due to new evidence suggesting the siblings died of natural causes. The inquiry concluded that the deaths were likely the result of rare medical conditions, rather than suffocation as alleged by prosecutors. Scientists worldwide had petitioned for Folbigg's release, and her lawyer welcomed the recommendation as a positive milestone in her journey to clear her name.
