Experts call for an Australian Criminal Cases Review Commission via @SBSNews featuring our Director A/Prof @MicheleRuyters, alongside our applicant Khalid Baker https://t.co/ZRtyQftk3L
The thing that upsets me so much about Kathleen Folbrigg’s case - more than her being named “Australia’s worst female serial killer”, and after spending 20 years in prison for crimes she did not do… is that the system makes it almost IMPOSSIBLE to reverse wrongful convictions
Why did it take the justice system 20 years to work out that Kathleen Folbigg was wrongly convicted over the deaths of her four children? Does Australia need a better way to investigate possible miscarriages of justice? https://t.co/wHEFly3Sze

#Folbigg Australia needs a criminal cases review commission like England and Scotland. So many wrongful convictions don't get looked at #auspol@AustLawAlliance

#DerekBromley Our day in court today ended with a sense of bolstered hope. Tomorrow the Crown will offer its submissions but has flagged that he will be brief.
Yesterday, 18 May. High Court of Australia reserved its decision in the Bromley appeal.
We believe we're in good shape. Nothing's certain, but we think the Court is likely to conclude #DerekBromley has suffered a substantial miscarriage of justice.
