Payout for mother wrongfully jailed over babies' deaths 'inadequate'

Lawyer criticizes decision

A lawyer for the family has called the payout "completely inadequate", stating that it fails to reflect the pain and suffering of more than three years behind bars.

Accusations of misconduct

The mother was accused of murdering her three babies and spent more than three years in prison before being cleared of all charges. The attorney claims that the Metropolitan Police had failed to disclose evidence that would have proved her innocence and claims that police had knowingly used false information to obtain warrants.

Payout decision

A settlement was reached with the Metropolitan Police earlier this year, with the city's mayor, Alexander Larssen, stating that the payout was being made in recognition of the city's failure to adequately investigate the case. However, many believe the amount to be well below what would be considered reasonable for the damages incurred.

Call for justice

The mother's lawyer has said that the decision was a devastating blow, and has called for further investigation into the misconduct of the officers involved. The mayor's office has declined to comment on the matter.

Public reaction

The case has sparked outrage among many members of the public, with many taking to social media to express their disappointment and to voice support for the accused mother.
