'Horrendous miscarriage of justice': Folbigg has chance to clear her name

Fresh genetic evidence could see the conviction of child-killer Kathleen Folbigg overturned. Folbigg was jailed nearly 20 years ago for killing her three children – Patrick, Sarah and Laura – as well as the manslaughter of her son Caleb. Folbigg has always maintained her innocence. Sky News Australia discussed the issue with Kathleen Folbigg's Solicitor Rhanee Rego. According to her solicitor, the convicted serial killer is victim of an "horrendous miscarriage of justice" – likening her case to the wrongfully convicted Lindy Chamberlain. "It's widely known that miscarriages of justice take a long time for the system to rectify," Ms Rego said. "In the case of Lindy Chamberlain, she had a trial, three court appeals, four inquests, a royal commission and a pardon. "In the case of Ms Folbigg, she has fresh genetic evidence, and no court or inquiry has looked at this yet. "So there needs to be mechanisms in place for the legal system to evaluate new evidence that comes to light after a legal process – and we're very confident this new inquiry will examine properly and comprehensively this overwhelming new evidence."
