Kathleen Folbigg

Kathleen Folbigg, who was convicted in 2003 over the deaths of her four children, hopes a request to the NSW coroner could breathe new life into her bid to ...

"She now wants to help others avoid the same fate. We just don't put them on a stake and light the match. It's just now we burn reputations and we ruin their lives. "And I'm not putting Lindy Chamberlain's suffering down at all. "Do they still burn witches? Folbigg's legal team said they had only sent the Attorney-General additions he had asked for, and that he had a year to read the crux of their argument. She was convicted in 2003 of the murder of three of her children, and the manslaughter of a fourth. "As the Attorney-General will advise the Governor on the matter it would be inappropriate to provide further comment at this stage," a statement to the ABC said. "The death certificates should reflect that Caleb's diagnosis of death was SIDS, Patrick's from epilepsy, and that Sarah and Laura died from a lethal genetic mutation." "We are asking the state coroner to make findings of natural causes of death for the four Folbigg children, based on the scientific and medical evidence in this case," Dr Cavanagh said. "There needs to be a focus on the facts, the science and the medicine, and not on spurious comments based on speculation." On Friday, the Australian Academy of Science released a letter it had sent to the NSW Attorney-General stating: "The new indisputable genetic evidence establishes Ms Folbigg's innocence beyond reasonable doubt."
