She took ages to get out of her car, headed straight to the toilets, from the time the door opened it was about 5-6 seconds max. Bye, bye powdered DC's imo, into the bin or sanitary bin or flushed.

She fed them BS and kept them in the dark... like mushroomsWell Erin sure got his message loud & clear. That's when her panic set in IMO. I remember Dr Webster saying " Better scared than dead " about the kids & poor Erin said he was being mean or rude or something to that effect, but no Erin he CARED, unlike you.

Hard to believe this event, the Wellington business was her first rodeo... she was so successful at it... 75% success rate, a lot higher than most killers,. and with such a dicey process, the mushrooms. She had no way of discerning the level of toxicity each mushroom contained. She could have picked some duds, but no. . She was on the money each time... and so persuasive in the witness stand, her poor barrister must have made her sign a waiver, absolving him of responsibility if she took the stand,, but she did, she was convinced she could tell a great storyThe astonishing admission that almost derailed Erin Patterson’s trial
The revelation came during Simon Patterson’s time on the stand.
Simon Patterson’s astonishing admission that almost derailed Erin Patterson’s trial
The revelation came during Simon Patterson’s time on the stand.
“There is a matter I need to raise with you in the absence of the jury,” Justice Beale said to Patterson, as the court resumed following a lunch break.
“I made certain assumptions and I just want to confirm that those assumptions are correct.
“The spouse of an accused person has a right to object to giving evidence. I’ve assumed, that, from the history of this matter, you’ve been informed of that right previously and were willing to give evidence nonetheless.
“Now, are those assumptions correct?”
Simon responded “no”, prompting quiet gasps from members of the media.
Justice Beale offered Simon the opportunity to have some time to consider whether he was still willing to participate, but the father-of-two said he was happy to proceed.
“I’m willing to give evidence,” he said.
“I think if I had of been offered that before, I still would have said the same thing. I’m quite comfortable about that.”
Wow, he had some choice words to say, but I can't say that I blame him. The bold statement must be a trying time in his career. I'm sure he's seen patients die before, but to have such a lovely older woman thank him as she was whisked away to her death must be one that lingers. Then to see what unraveled in the months and years afterwards, to the verdict yesterday, he must have been really needing to vent. I hope he's OK.NOTE ..This does contain some disturbing content
The doctor who notified police about Erin Patterson has spoken for the first time since the guilty verdict, revealing the moment he realised the mushroom murderer was a “disturbed sociopathic nut bag”.
Dr Chris Webster dialled triple zero in the morning of July 31, 2023, after Patterson discharged herself from Leongatha Hospital within five minutes of being there.
“It was time for the nurse to begin observations and I was managing the other critically unwell patients,” he said.
Dr Webster vividly recalled the moments of that morning, telling The Age that he was managing the symptoms of the Wilkinsons, who were suffering from what first appeared to be regular food poisoning, until a frantic call came in from Dandenong Hospital.

Agreed, though I believe usually the lies are in the realm of "I haven't taken any drugs" and "I fell backwards onto it while naked" rather than lying about poisoning four blameless relatives.Well Erin sure got his message loud & clear.

Yes, I agree. She likely felt they were interfering with her 'parenting' style. She didn't want the kids to become religious and bond closely with Simon's family, imo.
