GUILTY Australia - 3 dead after eating wild mushrooms, Leongatha, Victoria, Aug 2023 *Arrest* #17

[iamshadow21]

Even now, I find it hard to get my head around it all and how cold blooded Erin Patterson was.

Poisoners and bombers. They're the worst. They have to want to watch their victims suffer, and not care if people other than their targets get injured or killed. They're primarily injustice collectors who nurture their resentments and get off on the sadism of it.

A poisoner would calmly, smugly tell you after feeding people a poisoned meal that they didn't do anything, that their victims poisoned themselves by eating the meal. There's a deep satisfaction in that. I'm sure that her victims praying for her at the end of the meal was the icing on the cake. She knew they were already dying at her hand.

MOO

You are talking about a woman who put Death Cap mushrooms in her in-laws lunch...

I tend to agree with @JBowie - prisoners make up all sorts of lies to capitalise and get special "favours". I would take this with a grain of salt. IMO

 

[JBowie]

Can and will the prosecution release any trial evidence to the media? Like photos and video?

AFAIK, only the court can do that and presumably only with the judge's approval.

Nah, IMO has to be an Aussie actor. No way do we need another "A dingo's got my baby".

Toni Collette a la Muriels Wedding.

Nothing is off limits for criminals. I remember how that monster Ashley Mervyn Coulston was caught in the early 90s; he used the same gun in his next abduction attempt.

Pictured: Patterson’s phone that was never recovered by police​

A photo has emerged of Patterson in hospital on 31 July, 2023, with a phone in a pink case.

The phone, which was dubbed Phone A during the trial, was never recovered by police.

The prosecution had argued it was the phone Patterson primarily used from February 2023 until August 2023, which Patterson agreed was the case.

The court heard Patterson gave police Phone B when they searched her home on 5 August 2023.

She had claimed she did so because she was in the process of changing her phone after the lunch because she didn’t want her estranged husband Simon to contact her.

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.

WOW I'm very surprised that they have CCTV in a clinical space

The transcript of Erin's police interview is here .... Exhibit-63---Recorded-Police-Interview-with-Erin-Patterson-on-5-August-2023

The transcript of the 000 call Dr Chris Webster made after Erin discharged herself against medical advice from Leongatha Hospital on July 31st ..... Exhibit-9---Dr-Webster's-triple-zero-recording-with-transcript

Lots of different exhibits in this article.
When I see it all I can see that the jury had a deep understanding of what the witnesses were telling the court.

Patterson’s ‘foraged’ mushrooms​

This photo shows one of the images of mushrooms that were found on an SD inside Patterson’s home.

Patterson’s defence team showed them to the court as evidence of her testimony that she had a hobby foraging mushrooms.

I’d love to know:

- what she actually thew away in the servo toilet
- what happened in that 11min window between dropping her son at subway and picking him up on evening of the dinner
- what was on phone A, and what she deleted from phone B
- what she did when she came home from hospital that morning when she said she fed the dog, packed a ballet bag and lay on the floor

Anything else?

 

[Kemug]

I agree. Before that, I was never in doubt of her guilt, but I was having some doubts about whether the prosecution met the bar for reasonable doubt.

When she took the stand, I think she showed her true nature - obnoxious, grandiose, arrogant and a disagreeable compulsive liar. IMO

No, say what you really mean!

 

[JBowie]

You are talking about a woman who put Death Cap mushrooms in her in-laws lunch...

Yes, but also a woman who is facing trial for murder by poisoning food.

IMO, only a complete moron would tamper with the food of another prisoner under those circumstances.

IMO either the story is utter BS, or perhaps maybe another prisoner did tamper with someone's food and then conveniently pointed the finger at Patterson.

You could well be right and we are talking about the Daily Fail.

The Daily Mail took the story from an Australian paper.

Patterson will be taken to the maximum security Dame Phyllis Frost Centre at Deer Park, 17km west of Melbourne's central business district, where she will start the rest of her life in prison.

How she managed to hide Phone A.

They put her in the hole for it, that suggests that it wasn't just 'she said, she said'. There was something that warranted investigation.

MOO

I do believe in rehabilitation, but in EP's case I think it would be appropriate if that said she will be taken to where she will spend the rest of her life in prison.

Where did you read that?

EP left Morwell around 5.30pm for the last time. She should be getting close to her (hopefully) forever home shortly.
