Sally Clark Is A Free Woman
Sally Clark was convicted for killing her two infant sons, in both 1996 and 1998. Her defense argued that the babies died for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) but statistical evidence showed that the chances of that happening were slim. After serving three years of her life sentence, her case was appealed and it was determined that the second child had actually died of natural causes. The situation resulted in hundreds of other similar convictions being reviewed, with two overturned.
