Kathleen Folbigg is anxious and confused as to why she remains in prison, her lawyer says, as pressure mounts on the New South Wales attorney general to release her.

Folbigg, who has always maintained her innocence, has spent 20 years of a 25-year sentence in prison since she was convicted in 2003 of murdering three of her children, and the manslaughter of one child.
