What was the evidence supporting the conviction that she killed her children in the first place?


If I read everything correctly, there was no physical evidence but allegations from her husband and her diary entries.

Quote 1: «The maxim attributed to UK paediatrician Roy Meadow reads as follows:

“One sudden infant death is a tragedy, two is suspicious and three is murder, until proven otherwise.”»

Quote 2: «It’s an argument echoed by Ms Rego, who says the diary entries were “cherry-picked” to suit a narrative of guilt.»
