Another thing I'd say about Mandy: He had the onerous job of trying to portray Patterson's fantasies and her literally incredible excuses for her actions and lies into something remotely plausible.
No mean feat!

Yep! I timed it. 6 seconds at most.
Does she drive with that satchel on? Weird
Especially if it contains poo, imo
If Mythbusters were still on TV, that would make a good episode.
She does have a mortgage. House was remortgaged to pay her legal fees. Presumably now it will be sold.

I don't suppose Simon's relatives will need to pay her back the money they owe her now?
Shame she didn’t obtain a cream-coloured face mask, since the true source of liarrhoea that needed a cork was her big fat lying liar mouth!!!
BBM- hope they got plenty of eggs, to apply to their faces tonight
What Patterson’s new life will look like inside prison
Triple murderer Patterson will return to Dame Phyllis Frost Centre after the jury found her guilty on Monday.The maximum security prison is home to up to 600 women.
The facility has housed some of Australia’s most infamous female offenders, including teen killer Caroline Reed Robertson, gangland widow Roberta Williams and German drug smuggler Andrea Mohr.
Other high-profile inmates Patterson will be bunking with include pedophile rapist Malka Leifer, black widow Robyn Lindholm, Melbourne crime queen Judy Moran, and serial con artist Samantha Azzopardi.
Patterson will spend her time in a protected unit out of concerns for her safety.
The unit is also home to Leifer and other prisoners who are not allowed to be in other general areas of the prison.
The facility has two types of accomodation: single cells with ensuite facilities or self-contained units.
There are also two special cell blocks housing 20 prisoners each, which are designed for protection prisoners and prisoners with a history of poor behaviour.
The medium security units house ten prisoners in separate rooms while minimum security units house only five prisoners.
Each unit has individual kitchen and dining facilities and prisoners are required to cook and prepare their own meals and do their own washing, ironing and housework.
Groups of prisoners share activity areas and there is a quiet area for reading and writing.
Formerly known as the Deer Park Metropolitan Women’s Correctional Centre, the prison opened in August 1996.
The government took control of the facility in late 2000 and it is now managed by Corrections Victoria.
It was renamed after Dame Phyllis Frost, who was a well-known campaigner for women prisoners.
What happens to Erin Patterson now?
7NEWS reporter Estelle Griepink has provided insight into what is expected to happen to Patterson now.“Because she has been found guilty, she’s been taken from her custody box in the court through what we believe is a lift into a tunnel that connects to the police station,” Griepink said.
“She’ll be put in that prison van and she’ll travel to Dame Phyllis Frost. And there we are, unlikely to see her again until about August.
“That’s when her next court hearing has been scheduled. So of course, if she was found not guilty, she’d walk free. But now that she’s been found guilty, the next part in the court process is to set a plea hearing or a pre-sentence hearing.
“That’s when we’re expecting to hear victim impact statements from family members affected by this tragedy. And then after that, we’ll proceed to sentence.
“But sometimes that takes a while. So the first hearing will be in August, and that’s just a mention to discuss these proceedings going forward. But she potentially could appear at that in person. So she would need to be brought in a prison van for that as well.”
All the evidence that brought down triple murderer Erin Patterson
A jury took just seven days to find the mother-of-two did deliberately lace a beef wellington with toxic death cap mushrooms to kill three people and almost murder a fourth.

"During the trial, the jury heard Patterson and her husband had separated in 2015 but spent much of the following years maintaining an amicable relationship.
Continuing to co-parent their two children, the couple remained friends and attended family events together and took family holidays.
But, the jury was told, their relationship began to sour in the latter half of 2022.
Simon Patterson gave evidence he understood this occurred after he was listed as separated on his tax return for the first time, believing this to have financial consequences for Patterson."
There are dozens of references online to her being separated from him. There is no mention that I can find of a divorce, or associated settlement.

There is no divorce, so far. They are still married. IMO

Have you got a link? I believe that is not true.
Her lawyers taking a lien on the property is not the same as a mortgage after she gave them $1.1m cash from the sale of her home at Glen Waverly.

These stills, taken from a video of a police search on August 5, 2023, were shown to the jury during Erin Patterson’s trial.
They show scales in her kitchen, plates stacked in the drawers and the dishwasher, and the Nagi Maehashi cookbook where Patterson told the trial she got the beef Wellington recipe.
At the time of the search, Heather and Gail had passed away due to death cap mushroom poisoning and Don and Ian were in critical conditions.
