Prosecutors Cast Doubt on Mother's Conviction for Children's Deaths

New scientific and genetic evidence has led prosecutors to acknowledge reasonable doubt that Kathleen Folbigg, an Australian mother convicted of killing her four children, deliberately did so. The children died separately over a decade, and their mother insisted their deaths were from natural causes. The inquiry has been adjourned until Thursday, and if the judge finds reasonable doubt of Folbigg’s guilt, he could recommend that the state governor pardon her and could report to the Court of Criminal Appeals to consider quashing her convictions.
