She’s either guilty and spending her life defending herself or innocent and going through Hell. I dunno anymore.
I thought the absence of teeth marks on the Baby’s vest, and other aspects of the blood stains on it were conclusive? Presumeably all that was thrown out of Court last time.

very difficult to call !! i remember it as a kid and find it just as confusing today
whilst i have no doubt it is perfectly possible a dingo could take a child ,
how on earth did it remove clothes without a single tooth mark ??
adult humans can struggle dressing and undressing babies with 2 very dextrous hands
a dingo has one mouth and no experience of human dressing , i always thaught a more logical thing would be to rip the clothes off for a dingo
if i remember correctly didn’t it also have to enter a camp and go into a tent
there are some things i accept on this but also some that do seem to streatch credibility

much less tolerant did people seem to be back then.
the only difrence nowadays is it is spoken out less through various suppression methods
it exists in exactly the same numbers (if not more ) the trouble is it creates a powder keg nothing gets said till things explode !!

There are coyotes in our neighborhood (about 1/8 of a mile distant along a creek at the base of a hill), at night I can hear them howl. A neighbor has lost a large dog and a couple of cats to them.
They stay to themselves and have never seen one near our home.
I’ve never heard of them attacking a child, but I have little doubt they would if pressed by hunger.

The Azaria Chamberlain case? I remember it happening as a 13-year-old in NZ.
It sounds like a dingo to me, but I remember at the time and in the aftermath that most people thought Mrs Chamberlain had murdered her daughter. Additionally, the Chamberlains’ Seventh Day Adventist religious faith led to a lot of adverse public opinion; much less tolerant did people seem to be back then.

Without coming down on one side or the other, I’d say that the dingo explanation is quite possible. The dingo’s North American cousin and counterpart is the coyote and coyotes have made numerous attacks on children, one fatal, and all notable for their brazenness. Consider these:
