Can you refresh me on juror 84? TIA

Way back in mid May

Juror discharged in mushroom murder trial at Morwell - South Gippsland Sentinel Times

IN A significant development on Day 12 of the Erin Patterson murder trial in Morwell on Thursday, May 15, one of the 15 jurors in the case was discharged by Justice Christopher Beale. In court on Thursday, in front of the remaining 14 jurors...

IIRC at least one msm mentioned that the basis was an email had been sent to the general court email address.
[apologies I can't immediately find that source, maybe someone else can?]

After being in this thread for years I would rather eat my own arm than a mushroom burger.

Dinner is served

I actually eat those. (I'm vegan)

 

[LadyL]

I am wondering how long it will be before we get a ton of dirt on her past.

Simons mystery illnesses is the main one but has she tried to poison other people to a lesser extent who have crossed her?!

It just seems quite extreme to poison 4 people with 3 then unfortunately dying without having tried it previously.

definitely incidents in her past and as a child even ... IMO

The lies that got ‘crazy Erin’ sacked from air traffic control gig​

Former colleagues of triple murderer Erin Patterson — whose maiden name was Scutter — have described her as a pathological liar who “managed to get guys wrapped around her little finger”.

Paraphrased :

• Erin's was nicknamed “Scutter the Nutter” by her air traffic controller mates before being saked for lying about her working hours. She was leavin work early & it was confirmed by CCTV ( Her maiden name was Scutter ) She lied until shown CCTV than said “‘Ah, you’ve got me there’, was what she said,”
• She was also called "crazy Erin"
• She worked there between February and November 2001
• Erin was secretive about her life
• “She didn’t engage with anyone, she had no friends, she was a loner.”
• Erin's mother Heather Scutter, died in 2019 leaving an inheritance to Patterson and her sister Ceinwen Scutter
• “She was a ritual, habitual and pathological liar, she would just say anything, just to get away with anything.”
• A former colleague said, despite some personality issues, a number of men on staff had pursued Patterson and became quite “smitten”.
• One was a married man who turned up at her house in the early hours saying he wanted to leave his wife for her.
  “She managed to get guys wrapped around her little finger,”

it terrifies me that she was an air traffic controller with all those vulnerable lives in her control

Not sure if this has been posted but there’s a lot of information here about Simon’s illnesses and how he began to suspect Erin was poisoning him.

ETA : and it was justice Beale who disallowed the claims about Simon. The prosecution appealed this, and lost

"Police searches of her computer had found that the device had accessed a document titled A Case Study: What Doses Of Amanita phalloides And Amatoxins Are Lethal To Humans? Amanita phalloides is the scientific name for death cap mushrooms."

I hope we can put to rest the idea that she was merely trying to make them sick.

Anyone who's called "crazy" and with a nickname of "nutter" should maybe be benched.

 

[Jake18]

Wow, you're right. When she comes out the bag is more floppy and empty looking!

To be fair, someone else noticed it first, I just can’t remember who

 

[MrJ]

dbm personal snip of referencing a suppression order article

I hope Simon has counselling and doesn't have too much of a survivor's guilt. It's not his fault. It's not his children's fault

Lots of legos to the left

 

[LadyL]

Yes, birds of a feather flock together, 'priors' can be how people refer to previous crimes. Thought it was ironic.

oh ok that name is in my family so I was wondering about that

 

[wallyworld]

Yes, she made an account impersonating someone she was stalking. She seemed to get her kicks out of humiliating people. Imo
The posts are still there but out of respect for the person she was stalking I won't reveal the name of the account.

how can you be sure that it was EP

 

[Tweet57]

I would love to know if she feels it was worth it. Was her hated and anger and need to make them suffer so great that she would do it again, knowing it meant life in prison for her.
I wonder about that a lot.

It seems her hatred and anger was greater than her love for her children.

benched means fired?

 

[LadyL]

It seems her hatred and anger was greater than her love for her children.

I honestly don't think she's capable of love
she probably just went through the motions and acted how she thought people are supposed to act when they love someone JMO

 

[LadyL]

I just read she used to be an RSPCA worker! I hope she didn't hurt/poison/sabotage any animals in her care!

'She's no dope': Who is the host of Australia's most infamous lunch?

The world has met Erin Patterson as the murderous cook behind a mushroom meal that killed three relatives. But years before her courtroom infamy, the woman from Melbourne's suburbs divided opinions.

[MrJ]

I wonder what sorts of lies she's told about Simon to the children...

 

[JBowie]

She was. But not any more.

I guess she also have a 'silent' account on WS, however I don't think she could resist posting.

 

[Kemug]

Erin likes to get her revenge physically apparently,
I was going to say, but then I thought of the stalking and harrassing, so I dont know if that's quite so.
