Kathleen Folbigg will be released after 20 years behind bars following an inquiry into her convictions, led by Hon Thomas Bathurst AC KC.
NSW Attorney General Michael Daley announced on Monday morning he had recommended Ms Folbigg be pardoned following an inquiry into her convictions, led by Hon Thomas Bathurst AC KC.
“The result today is confirmation that our judicial system is capable of delivering justice, and demonstrates that the rule of law is an important underpinning of our democratic system," he said. “I thank the team on the inquiry for the work they have done so far. I also thank Mr Bathurst for the thorough and robust assessment he provided me which helped enable this outcome.
“I thank the previous Attorney General Mark Speakman and the NSW Governor her Excellency the Hon Margaret Beazley, KC, AC, for establishing this inquiry. “Given all that has happened over the last 20 years, it is impossible not feel sympathy for Kathleen and Craig Folbigg. I am glad that our legal system in NSW contains provisions that allow for the continual pursuit of truth and justice.”
