The Heartbreak of a Child Killer and Rapist

Faye Kennedy began working with politicians to petition for changes to Queensland's double jeopardy laws. They argued that the 800-year-old law was outdated and hadn't kept in line with technological advancements or investigative techniques. Unless the laws were updated, a suspect could walk free even if evidence had since become available that proved their guilt. Faye hoped to have 10,000 people sign her petition. Within 12 weeks, she tripled that, with over 33,000 members of the community showing their support.
