Landmark ruling gives judges power to consider personality disorders https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/landmark-ruling-lgives-judges-power-to-consider-personality-disorders-20200825-p55p7n.html

Will Erin apply for bail? Will she get bail? It’s worth noting that in Victoria, there is a presumption in favour of bail. This means that a person is entitled to be granted bail unless there is a compelling reason to refuse it. However, in some cases, such as for serious offences like murder...

There are two aspects since the beginning of this case that I am mystified about: 1. On what basis were the Pattersons and Wilkinsons invited to the lunch? 2. What was Erin's motive for murdering them?

IMO I gleaned from the program, "Investigation", that Erin could have dumped the dehydrator at the tip on the Saturday morning before the lunch as it was reported on that program that one of the workers said he was not working that day - "that day" was that Saturday. Today I started wondering...

I don't think he would have gone to the police even before the lunch but he certainly had made the connection before he went to the hospital but possibly as soon as he knew his parents were ill. But I can't help wondering about why he didn't share his suspicions about Erin to his parents and...

The main "dirt" that the media have reported about Erin Patterson is this below but it happened 19 years ago when her name was Erin Scutter! The woman who remains a suspect in a deadly mushroom beef wellington investigation can be revealed to have fled the scene of a drunken car crash and...

It is not my understanding of C-PTSD either. I have already done a post about this eg over-regulation of emotions vs under-regulation of emotions.

Is complex PTSD the same as borderline personality disorder? Individuals with complex PTSD often over-regulate emotions, using emotional numbing, withdrawing, or dissociation to cope with reminders of traumatic experiences. On the other hand, BPD is characterised by under-regulation of intense...

A personality disorder is a mental health condition where people have a lifelong pattern of seeing themselves and reacting to others in ways that cause problems. People with personality disorders often have a hard time understanding emotions and tolerating distress. And they act impulsively...

That was my understanding too but I could not find a link to it.

This is Bill Doogue's profile: https://www.criminal-lawyers.com.au/lawyer-profiles/bill-doogue

Erin's prominent criminal lawyer is Bill Doogue. https://www.9news.com.au/national/leongatha-mushroom-incident-erin-patterson-visits-lawyers--one-month-after-deadly-mushroom-incident/e13bd32c-16b8-45cb-b8f4-0f2919f91d6b

Did Erin change her lawyer after the initial media release by her previous lawyers?

Thanks Amalgam for the link to an article about these dogs. Apparently, these dogs can find hidden mobile phones, USBs, SIM cards and SD cards. https://www.theage.com.au/national/and-they-would-have-gotten-away-with-it-too-if-it-weren-t-for-those-meddling-dogs-20230524-p5dau2.html
