Spanish Scientist's Expertise Leads to Overturning Conviction of Australia's 'Worst Female Serial Killer'

Kathleen Folbigg, dubbed "Australia's worst serial killer," has had her conviction overturned by an Australian appeals court, twenty years after being found guilty of murdering her four children. Folbigg, who was already pardoned and released from prison in June, had insisted that her children died of natural causes. The court cited reasonable doubt in her guilt, leading to the quashing of her convictions. Folbigg and her legal team are now seeking substantial compensation from the state government for the years she spent in prison.
