New South Wales Attorney General Michael Daley on Monday announced The Inquiry , which finished in March, had concluded there was Reasonable Doubt as to the guilt of Ms Folbigg on each offence.
" Kathleen Folbigg should be released from custody as soon as possible, " He Said . " She has now been pardoned. "
