how does Simon break this to the children before they see it online

I imagine they're holed up somewhere, getting the news as soon as it's released and processing it on their own. Or was Simon in the courtroom today?

no crocodile tears today?

Apparently not. They are of no value now anyway. Maybe they'll appear at the sentencing?

Fantastic outcome and well done to the jury!

Also, many thanks & well done to @drsleuth and others, who tirelessly posted daily updates from the various media sources.

And she sat stony faced as the verdict was read out. I can't even fathom that.

I thought she would! Couldn't imagine her getting emotional at all. No need to fake emotions now.

I just woke up as it’s only 5.32am and just seen the news.

It won’t bring back Simon’s loved ones but at least he knows the person responsible won’t be able to poison anybody again. Not forgetting poor old Ian who has been to hell and back.

Fantastic news for all involved

What a sad, senseless crime this is.
No winners in this at all.
So sad as Erin could have chosen to act so differently, especially given the financial freedom she had - could have sought therapy and taken the children on lots of trips and gone travelling herself. Could have sought out new relationships and found new joy in her life rather than obsessing over her ex in laws. So sad that this wasn't her chosen path.

Ive got Nine on too. Nice to get a little recap while we wait

Channel 9 coverage is better than the ABC.

Justice for Gail, Don, Heather (and Ian's terrible sickness and loss) is served.

Well done to the prosecution for proving their case.

 

[HoneyBunOne]

Detechtive - I cannot wait to hear what you have to say about this whole sordid mess. I hope you're processing this news OK.

I think he's probably with them

 

[Tortoise]

apparently not till after sentencing?

She's been found guilty, we can't prejudice a jury's verdict now.

ok, it's confusing for me

Exactly. I feel sorry for her kids and Simon, who will now be taking on the main parental role.

 

[Detechtive]

I am SO happy that this poor poor family have gotten justice - as bitter sweet as it would be especially for the poor children.

I am also glad she will no longer be able to stalk and harass people anymore. Horrible, horrible woman.

 

[dothetime]

GUILTY x 4!!!!!

Such an enormous relief! So impressed with the jury and their hard work and patience. Have prayed so hard for them to discern truth and justice! The family, and many, like yourself, are now vindicated! May they be at peace, healthy, and prosper!

 

[HoneyBunOne]

I think he's probably with them

I'd like to think so, but if it were me, I'd want to watch her face first hand and stare her down. But then again, I'm not a nice Christian.

I wonder if he was able to watch a live stream somehow? Obviously not with the children in the same room, but to see and hear what happened, and perhaps to compose himself before telling the kids.

Channel 9 presented an exclusive photo of EP during the trial.

She has been in MORWELL police station, during the trial, and would go to court, via an underground tunnel.
Her attorneys stated her conditions there were not supportive for EP.

I shouldn't have doubted the outcome. There was just too much evidence and reasonable doubt involved. Erin has wrecked her life as well as her kids. She took the lives of 3 innocent and good people and irrevocably changed the lives of their loved ones

Justice has been served.

Erin Patterson convicted triple murderer!

 

[Lisa4]

Oh wow I just saw here there was a verdict.

Justice.

Sad all round. I really hope it ends here and they dont all have to go through appeals.

Thanks to you all for being part of a place where we could discuss this respectfully.

You have reason to doubt the justice system, lovely. xx
