How did she know it was the mushrooms before the hospital did?
That's an excellent point, and I'm not sure whether the prosecutor raised that at any point.
I don't think people will be accepting her lunch or dinner invitations for a very long time, if ever. Then again, she didn't entertain very much before this all happened. I remember reading that her in-laws were surprised to be invited to lunch because she had never done it before.
Even if she is acquitted, interest in the case isn't going to die down just like that. There are a number of angles that journalists can pursue - and they will.
IMO people are paying too much attention to the motive she might have had. There is a reason why the prosecution does not have to provide a motive. Murderers do kill for any number of reasons, some of which are more understandable than others, and putting yourself into the mind of a killer is...
You are looking at EP's actions in the light of what you would do. I wouldn't even try to guess which personality disorders she might have, but I would like to point out that psychopaths don't walk around with a P stamped on her forehead. They are very good at hiding their pathology. EP's...
I think that even if EP is acquitted, she will have a cloud of suspicion hanging over her head for the rest of her life, much like Casey Anthony and OJ Simpson.
Beef Wellington is complicated, but the way EP made it is even more complicated. The classic recipe (see Gordon Ramsay on Youtube) is to take one large filet of beef, coat it in a mushroom duxelles and then wrap puff pastry around it. However, EP made individual, mini Wellingtons, which are more...
A lot of people have noticed her lack of empathy. Simon has testified that when she learned that her guests were in the hospital because they had gotten sick after eating her food, she never even asked how they were. And she wants us to believe she loved them? When she was on the witness stand...
So what if she only ate half a portion? Her mother-in-law also ate only half a portion, and it was enough to kill her. I can't really fault the defense attorney for grasping at straws, though. He has to come up with something, no matter how outlandish, to counter his client's devastating...
That in itself would have told police that Erin was lying. If she really did buy those poisonous mushrooms at a store, other people would have too and there would be reports of others becoming seriously ill and possibly dying.
She didn't actually say they were liars, but she repeatedly contradicted their version of facts and said that what they related wasn't true or never happened, which implies that her kids either have the worst memory in the world or they are liars.
