So how did she end up in prison for it?
Anna Sinfield - the journalist behind the global number 1 podcast, The Girlfriends, returns with her toughest story yet.

Found guilty of murder and locked up for over a decade; Kelly Harnett taught herself the law. And as she battled to overturn her conviction, she became a beacon of hope, fighting for the freedom of the abused women locked up alongside her.
