Meadow’s Law with Quentin McDermott
About
In 2003, Kathleen Folbigg was found guilty of smothering her four young children to death, one by one. Medical experts told her trial that they had never come across a family like hers, where three or more infants had died from natural causes. Extracts from diaries she had written were judged to be virtual admissions of guilt, and Folbigg was sentenced to 40 years in jail. But did she do it?Quentin will be in-conversation with best-selling crime writer Matthew Spencer.
Investigative journalist Quentin McDermott’s groundbreaking work with ABC's Australian Story helped trigger a push by scientists to uncover the genetic cause of two of the children's deaths.
In this gripping and meticulously researched account of one of Australia's most infamous criminal cases, Quentin tells the story of how a dedicated teams of lawyers, friends and supporters fought to achieve Kathleen Folbigg's eventual pardon, release and acquittal after 20 years behind bars.
