Folbigg, who was pardoned in June, plans to seek substantial compensation for her wrongful imprisonment. The case, which relied on circumstantial evidence, sparked controversy among scientists and statisticians, some of whom campaigned for Folbigg's release. A second inquiry in 2022 found new evidence suggesting a genetic mutation may have caused the deaths of two of the children.
