The law student who thought Kathleen Folbigg innocent - then went on to secure her freedom

Published: May 17, 2024, 7:01 p.m.

In this episode we meet Rhanee Rego, the young Novocastrian who became interested in the case of Australia's "worst serial child killer", Kathleen Folbigg, when studying law. Six years later, Rego was instrumental in securing the release of Folbigg, who'd been jailed in 2003 for killing her four infant children. With Folbigg's convictions now quashed, Rego is working to secure what's expected to be one of the biggest compensation payouts in Australian legal history.

Hosting the conversation is\xa0Good Weekend\xa0senior writer, Tim Elliott.
