Justice for Kathleen Folbigg 
We will keep fighting for justice
It was announced earlier this week that NSW Governor Margaret Beazley has accepted the findings of the Kathleen Folbigg inquiry.
The convictions for the deaths of her four children will stand.
The Justice For Kathleen Folbigg team had hoped the Governor would closely examine the expert submissions into the case and see that there was reason to question a guilty verdict.
When the Justice team saw Kathy a few weeks ago she was praying that Margaret Beazley would not simply rubber stamp the judge’s findings.
But it wasn’t to be.
Anyone who has read the reports submitted to the inquiry by genetic experts, psychiatrists and pathologists would know they all suggest reasonable doubt.
Reasonable doubt is a standard of proof used in criminal trials. When a criminal defendant is prosecuted, the prosecutor must prove the defendant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. If the judge has a reasonable doubt as to the defendant’s guilt, they should pronounce the defendant not guilty.
However, the strong medical evidence was pushed aside in favour of weaponising – yet again – Kath’s journals, despite experts suggesting her words were consistent with someone suffering survivor guilt.
Reading psychiatrist Michael Diamond’s recent assessment of Kath, as she opened up about the trauma she felt as she lost one child after another, is heartbreaking.
She told him she felt constant terror following the birth of each of her children, petrified that she would lose them. She wept uncontrollably as she told him about each of their deaths.
We are disappointed that Kath’s ex-husband Craig’s refused to provide DNA for genetic testing and that his refusal was swept under the carpet.
If the government was truly interested in making the correct judgement it would have insisted on the DNA being provided. Craig – if he has nothing to hide – should have no reason to refuse such a test.
The team vows that this is not over. Kath is innocent and we will keep on fighting until we are heard.
Justice for Kathleen Folbigg 
Its suits a lot of people for Kathleen to remain in jail despite her innocence – if she were to be released there would be a surnami of questions that could very well undermine the criminal justice system in NSW. Who cares that a innocent mother from Singleton stays in jail for the next 10 years “we must protect our own.” Its beyond belief that all the medical evidence was completely ignored. Yes isn’t it interesting that Craig refused to provide a DNA sample – if you have nothing to hide why would you refuse such a simple procedure. Wouldn’t you want the truth regardless. No – its easier to leave sleeping dogs lie.
