The words that helped wrongly convict Kathleen Folbigg

    Prosecutor: In relation to Laura […] her cause of death was consistent with smothering?

  • Prosecutor: And that she probably died from an acute catastrophic asphyxiating event of unknown causes?
  • 746-48)
    Prosecutor: Are you able to say whether or not Caleb died from a catastrophic asphyxiating event of unknown causes?
  • But there are good reasons for forensic medicine practitioners and advocates to rethink their understanding – and use – of these words.
  • Read more:
    How 'witch-hunts' and 'Stockholm syndrome' became part of political language (and what it has to do with wrestling)

The semantic journey of asphyxia

  • Predictably, this meaning “stoppage of pulse” then sprouted the meaning “stoppage of respiration” – a lack of breath is a salient sign of lifelessness.
  • Subsequently, the path has been rocky, and it is now understood variously by forensic doctors around the world.
  • What is agreed, however, is that “asphyxia” is not a diagnosis; it is not a condition that can be pointed at or diagnosed.

More murkiness

  • As used by experts, this is synonymous with “may or may not mean”.
  • Research shows, however, that people without expert knowledge hear the phrase as strong confirmation of the proposed connection.
  • Clearly, we can’t assume people today would automatically understand “consistent with” as simply a way of saying what is proposed is possible.

Bad meanings drive out good

  • The meanings we carry around in our heads seem so natural we fail to realise other people can have quite different understandings.
  • And the more unusual a word is, the more its meanings will vary because we aren’t given the same opportunities to refine our hypotheses.
  • All three meanings are out there, and different dictionaries favour different ones.

Asphyxia permeated Kathleen Folbigg’s trial

  • (Two pinpoint scratches on Sarah’s lower lip were agreed to be of no significance).
  • This was probably heard by the jury as indicating no injuries meant an “asphyxial event” had occurred – in other words, the children had been strangled or smothered.
  • Known as Meadows Law, this inference stalked Kathleen Folbigg’s trial and her subsequent appeals relentlessly.
  • All of this is medically incoherent and incapable of establishing anything of significance – but probably had a powerful effect on the jury.

'The wisdom of the crowd’

  • In forensic pathology, it encompasses a number of concepts and is used variously by pathologists – and these uses are out of alignment with common lay usage.
  • The jury system relies on “the wisdom of the crowd”.
