The remarkable story of a battle between science and the law, and a mother's fight for justice


In 2003, Kathleen Folbigg was found guilty of smothering her four young children to death, one by one. Medical experts told her trial that they had never come across a family like hers, where three or more infants had died from natural causes. Extracts from diaries she had written were judged to be virtual admissions of guilt, and Folbigg was sentenced to 40 years in jail. But did she do it?

This is a gripping and meticulously researched account of one of Australia's most infamous criminal cases, written by investigative journalist Quentin McDermott, whose groundbreaking work with ABC's Australian Story helped trigger a push by scientists to uncover the genetic cause of two of the children's deaths. It is also the story of how dedicated teams of lawyers, friends and supporters fought to achieve Kathleen Folbigg's eventual pardon, release and acquittal after 20 years behind bars.

Meadow's Law is a must-read for anyone interested in true crime, justice, science and the power of investigative journalism.

Award-winning investigative journalist Quentin McDermott has worked in magazines, newspapers and television. Following six years at Granada Television in the UK, he joined the ABC as the supervising producer on Lateline before joining Four Corners in 2000 as a senior investigative reporter and producer. He is the ABC producer of the critically acclaimed and award-winning documentary Stop at Nothing: The Lance Armstrong Story. At Australian Story his story on Kathleen Folbigg helped trigger a judicial inquiry in 2018 and he has covered her story for the ABC and The Australian ever since.
