Hello all, yes it's me again because it is time for another episode reupload. Cause of

a very important update. I woke up this morning with the news that Kathleen

Fallbig has been released from prison. Now we covered the case of Kathleen back in

August 2022. And we said that if there was ever a change to her situation and if her

appeals were successful, we'd come back to visit this story.

And now, after 20 years in prison, 55 year old Kathleen, once branded Australia's worst

female serial killer, has been fully pardoned and released.

Fallbig's case has been highly controversial ever since her initial conviction, where

she was jailed for the murders of three of her children and the manslaughter of another.

Then an inquiry in 2019 again found her guilty, despite the scientific evidence mounting

up and creating quite a lot of doubt about the safety of her conviction.

And now, at last another judicial review conducted by former Chief Justice Thomas Bathurst

in 2022 found that there is now beyond reasonable doubt about the original conviction, leading

to the decision to release Kathleen. Essentially, this new evidence suggests that two of the

children possessed a rare genetic mutation, which may have contributed to their deaths.

And this came off the back of the 90 scientists who petitioned to free Kathleen that we discussed

in this episode last year. So if you want all of the details and a full rundown on this

case, check out this episode.
