An Aussie Justice Scandal | Ep.106 | The Scandal Mongers Podcast

One of Phil’s former colleagues, Quentin McDermott, joins him from Australia to report on the remarkable case of Kathleen Folbigg - one of the greatest miscarriages of justice of our age.After four of her children died under the age of 20 months, Kathleen Folbigg was charged and convicted of their murder in 2003. After 20 year in prison she was freed after scientific discoveries and a new analysis of statistical probabilities revealed that at least two of the children probably died from natural causes and that there was never ANY direct forensic evidence linked her to any of the deaths.As a reporter for the ABC Quentin played a major part in the campaign to have the case reopened, and he believes that Kathleen should never have even been brought to trial, even based on the knowledge of ‘cot death’ available in 2003.You can buy Quentin's book, and all the books we feature on the podcast here, along with thousands of others...https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/meadow-s-law-the-true-story-of-kathleen-folbigg-and-the-science-that-set-her-free-by-an-award-winning-journalist-for-readers-of-quentin-mcdermott/7751177?aid=12054&ean=9780733342912&Please Follow Quentin Here...https://x.com/quentinmcdermot?lang=en&mx=2***We now have a Thank You button (next to the ’three dots’) for small donations that help support our work***Looking for the perfect gift for a special scandalous someone - or someone you’d like to get scandalous with?
