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.

Oh, but her children are liars, according to Erin!

If she had admitted, right at the outset, that she foraged for mushrooms and included some in her beef Wellington; if she hadn't tried to dispose of the dehydrator and her phone; if she had shown grief and remorse at her relatives' serious illness - it could very well have been thought of as a...

I've been following her testimony in the news - by disputing her kids' testimony and statements, she actually accuses her own children of lying? This will haunt them forever.

This reminds me of those thrillers where someone marries a person they think is absolutely wonderful and perfect, and brushes off the recurring mysterious "accidents" they keep having as just bad luck, unaware that they're murder attempts by their spouse.

She held an AMA with friends on her true crime group? Unbelievable. You can't make this up!

Four plates means she bought just enough plates for herself, her husband and her two kids. Many (most?) people have everyday dishes and special occasion dishes, and it seems logical that she would serve her guests at the "special" luncheon on the good dishes. So why only four of them? Did she...

The most benign explanation would be that she is a cold, callous, unfeeling person. And that's the best-case scenario.

She allegedly poisoned him more than once. I don't understand why he kept eating food she had prepared after the first incident.

Your memory is correct - it was supposed to be for two weeks, but the judge noted that there was so much evidence still to be presented it would have to last for an additional two weeks. I'm wondering how long the jury will take to deliberate.

Somebody else posted earlier that the toxins in death caps will leak into any other food they come into contact with, so even scraping the mushrooms off the beef wouldn't make the meat safe to eat. I believe she knew that the beef she served the kids had never come into contact with the...

That and the fact that she refused to bring in her children for assessment even though the doctors felt they could be in danger. By that time, her lunch guests were in a coma. It shows IMO that she knew very well her kids weren't in danger because they hadn't had the poisoned leftover from the...

Sounds good but at this point, I don't think anybody following the trial closely is inclined to follow mushroom recipes.
