"Scientific Evidence Exonerates Mother Jailed for Killing Her 4 Children"
Kathleen Folbigg, who was convicted of killing her four children and spent over two decades in prison, has had her convictions quashed due to scientific evidence suggesting that the children died from rare genetic conditions rather than murder or manslaughter. The decision by the New South Wales Court of Criminal Appeal has been welcomed by scientists, who emphasize the need for legal system reform to prevent future miscarriages of justice. Folbigg is expected to seek one of the highest compensation payouts in Australian legal history.
