Abstract
In 2023, an Australian mother was released and acquitted after serving 20 years in prison, convicted by a jury of murdering her 4 young children over a 10-year period. She was convicted based on circumstantial evidence alone, without any physical evidence. She has always maintained that she is innocent. Here, I will shed light on how our research at Aalborg University on the Ca2+-binding protein calmodulinand our involvement in an Australian legal inquiry played a central role in the process leading to her acquittal.
