Kathleen Folbigg has made her first public statement since her release from the Clarence Correctional Centre on Monday after being pardoned over the deaths of her 4 children. In a video, she says she is “extremely humbled and extremely grateful for being pardoned and released”. She called it “a victory for science, and especially truth”, and thanked her friends and family for their support. “I have forever, and will always, think of my children, grieve for my children, and have missed them and love them terribly”. Close friend Tracy Chapman told a press conference “there’s no hate in her heart” after being jailed for 20 years. And Folbigg’s lawyer Rhanee Rego also took the chance to push for legal reform in Oz. “There’s a lot of things that could have been done better with this case,” she said.
