Description

The remarkable story of a battle between science and the law, as well as a mother's quest for justice. In 2003, Kathleen Folbigg was convicted for the deaths of her four young children, one by one. Medical experts testified at her trial that they had never encountered a family like hers, where three or more infants had died of natural causes. Excerpts from journals she had written were considered almost confessions of guilt, and Folbigg was sentenced to 40 years in prison. But did she? This is a gripping and meticulously researched narrative of one of Australia's most notorious criminal cases, written by investigative journalist Quentin McDermott, whose groundbreaking work with ABC's Australian Story helped spark an effort by scientists to discover the genetic cause of death for two of the children. It is also the story of how dedicated teams of lawyers, friends, and supporters fought to achieve the ultimate pardon, release, and exoneration of Kathleen Folbigg after 20 years behind bars. Meadow's Law is a book that must be read by anyone interested in true crime, justice, science, and the power of investigative journalism.
