Kathleen Folbigg released from prison after being pardoned due to new evidence.

TL;DR Summary
Kathleen Folbigg, an Australian woman who spent 20 years in prison for the deaths of her four children, has been pardoned and released based on new scientific evidence that the deaths were from natural causes. The pardon was granted by the Governor of New South Wales following a second inquiry into her guilt, which found reasonable doubt based on the new evidence. Folbigg's release was seen as the quickest way to get her out of prison, and a final report could recommend that her convictions be quashed.
