Tracy Chapman has issued a message to Kathleen Folbigg's ex-husband, as the best friend also weighed in on how much compensation the 55-year-old deserved after being jailed for two decades.
The former husband of Kathleen Folbigg has been told by her closest friend there is"no point holding grudges" after his ex-wife was pardoned and released from jail.
Ex-husband and father to the four children, Craig Folbigg, took exception to the call to release Ms Folbigg from jail following the findings from a recent inquiry. "With 20 years of repeated attempts to try and overturn the conviction and multiple inquiries by the state’s greatest legal minds — the wound can never heal."
"At the end of the day... his report is comprehensive, I know exactly what is in that report in terms of the details that went into that case," she said on Wednesday, noting she had not read the full report."I understand we all grieve differently. This case is a very important case in that regard that everybody has their own lived experience of grief and it’s not for us to judge.
The final report from the inquiry stated the matter may be referred to the Court of Criminal Appeal to determine whether Ms Folbigg's convictions could be quashed.
