For the first time in more than 20 years, Kathleen Folbigg slept comfortably on Monday night.
The 55-year-old Australian woman, imprisoned since 2003 over the deaths of her four children, was pardoned this week after a judicial review found there was reasonable doubt about her original convictions.
"She slept for the first time in a real bed, she has made a cup of tea with a real crockery cup and real spoons to stir with, which sounds probably pretty basic to you all, but she's grateful. Decent tea, you know, real milk," Tracy Chapman, a friend of Folbigg, said during a televised media conference.
