Angela Cannings

This is a case about grief…

but also about certainty — the kind that can be incredibly dangerous when it’s wrong.

Angela Cannings was a mother who experienced the unthinkable — the loss of not one, but multiple children in infancy.

And instead of compassion…

those losses became suspicion.

In the early 2000s, Angela was convicted of murdering two of her baby sons. The prosecution leaned heavily on expert testimony — statistics, probabilities, and the now-infamous idea that multiple unexplained infant deaths in one family were simply too unlikely to be natural.

But what happens when science isn’t as certain as it sounds?

What happens when experts are wrong?

And what happens when a grieving mother is turned into a suspect… not because of evidence, but because of what shouldn’t happen?

In this episode, we walk through Angela’s story — her life, her losses, the investigation, and the trial that would ultimately be overturned.

We’ll also talk about the broader impact of her case, alongside others like Sally Clark, and how flawed expert testimony changed the course of multiple lives… and forced a reckoning within the justice system.

Because sometimes the most dangerous evidence…

is the kind that sounds the most convincing.
