À propos de cet audio
In 2003, Newcastle mother Kathleen Folbigg was found guilty of smothering her four young children to death, one by one. The 'science' posited that it was more likely that a mother would commit quadruple homicide than four infants die of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). The law agreed, and Kathy was sentenced to 40 years in jail. This audiobook tells the complete, extraordinary story of Kathleen Folbigg's unlawful conviction and her eventual pardon decades later.
It is also a story of science versus the law. Folbigg was convicted before the era of widespread genetic testing, and legal teams ignored evidence that suggested at least two of the children may have died from a heart defect; it was just too complex for anyone to understand properly. Fifteen years later, a group of more than 150 eminent scientists from around the world believed she was innocent. And after two decades in prison, Kathleen was acquitted and set free.
This is the biography of one of Australia's most famous murder cases, examining the evidence that both unjustly put Folbigg behind bars and then cleared her name 20 years later.
