    GUILTY Australia - 3 dead after eating wild mushrooms, Leongatha, Victoria, Aug 2023 *Arrest* #20

    You seem to be assuming any of them, or anyone at all, would consume anything that had come within a mile of her! ETA I don't disagree with your main point. And I am sure a scenario could be constructed. Ancient crone injecting fruit in supermarkets with poison, perhaps...

    I've mentioned earlier being a tutor for two prisoners with the Open University in the UK. They had all the course material but they could not contribute to any forums or discussions. I would imagine this sort of arrangement may still be possible.

    GUILTY Australia - 3 dead after eating wild mushrooms, Leongatha, Victoria, Aug 2023 *Arrest* #20

    I think there will be some restrictions on what can be studied for this reason. I was a tutor for the Open University here in the UK 15-20 years ago and had two students in open prisons (expecting to be released in the next year). They were given supervised access, I think, but in any case at...

    From Mandy's comments it hardly seems possible that she is going to appeal the verdict. The sentence when it comes, maybe.

    On the serious matter of crochet: Who would ever iron a piece of crochet? You can't do much to anyone let alone yourself with a crochet hook. Well, poke at someone's eye, perhaps. Hooks are not needles, and they usually have rounded hook ends.

    Going back to this issue of whether EP could make a statement at sentencing, I don't believe it is the same in Australia (or England and Wales) but can't find a definitive statement. Defence lawyers speak on behalf of the convicted person, in mitigation or to convey their remorse. I can't...

    Surely not. I don't think there's any automatic right to do so, is there? It would be at the judge's discretion - if, say, she wanted to express remorse.

    Heroic but futile, in my opinion, Tortoise!

    I have come to the conclusion that this is an AI bot that's been programmed to be annoying.

    Agreed, it would not be surprising if she never gives up. But she is no longer dealing with innocents and the court system is not, IMO, going to allow an appeal on a trivial issue. I hope not, anyway!

    She can pay a lawyer to lodge an appeal, but does she not still have to get leave to appeal? https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07-07/erin-patterson-mushroom-murder-trial-guilty-verdict-appeal/105477378

    But given the care with which the court guarded against any accusation of prejudice, what grounds could she have for appeal? It's not just up to her personality what happens next, fortunately.

    Well - she had just tried to kill them all. So would it have been less callous in your view if she'd pretended to be concerned for their welfare?
