We Agree with Science
Episode description
In this Shot Episode, Lindsey and Tiffany review the case of Kathleen Folbigg, more commonly known by the nickname of "Australia's Most Hated Woman". In the 1990s, she had four children, all of whom died before their second birthday. She was eventually found guilty of their murders, and was sentenced to 40 years imprisonment, with a 30-year non-parole period. What brought us to this case was the new appeals in this case; her defense team is highly motivated to prove that she is innocent, and they have built a new, scientific defense plan. This scientific study involves genome sequencing, and the signatures of dozens of scientists all backing up the work. As shot episodes go, the girls also discuss which superpower they'd have, and the similarities between the justice system and The Handmaid's Tale.
