I think there will be public outcry at a lenient sentence in this case.
I'd want to hope she never gets out, but we parolled a serial killer who participated in killing four of the Snowtown victims this week, so... yeah.
I'm sure not all of it will come into play when sentencing, but not only was it mass murder, it was planned well in advance, it targeted elderly, upstanding citizens who appeared to be the most wonderful people with forgiveness and love in their hearts, and was done by a cold blooded murderer who never once showed any real compassion or emotion towards her "loved ones".
Yes, I was thinking how informative it would be to hear from her high school peers. I imagine she was an oddity back then: wanting to be popular but not really enjoying a whole lot of social contact. I’d say she learned a lot in those school years about exacting revenge on those she thought had wronged her.
At least Erin is significantly older than that parolled serial killer and therefore less likely to see a parole date, assuming the sentence will be a hefty one (which I think likely).
Fingers crossed
Sorry I didn’t phrase that correctly
Yes I noticed the quote about her Pad Thai, and honestly, from the photo, it didn't look all that appetizing.
It was slop
It was slop
There was a 4th meal:-
“The pre-trial hearing was told that Erin Patterson cooked Simon Patterson penne bolognese on September 19, 2021, before he was hospitalised in Leongatha with gastro-related symptoms.
She cooked him chicken curry during a trip to Howqua in May 2022, followed by a chicken curry wrap on a trip to Wilsons Promontory in September 2022. Both times, he ended up in hospital with severe bouts of illness, including one that placed him in a coma for 16 days before three parts of his bowel were removed during emergency surgery.
Prosecutors also told the court of a fourth meal, of beef and rice, in mid-2022 that Erin Patterson was never charged over. They claimed the meal prompted another trip to hospital for Simon.”
The secret poison papers and an imaginary cat: What the jury didn’t hear in Erin Patterson’s trial
As Erin Patterson’s life was raked over in her murder trial, few details were spared. These are the hidden items of evidence and the arguments the jury never encountered.www.theage.com.au
Definitely. She didn't start with Simon. Much earlier, imo.
I find it astounding that a group of women who claimed to be so sleuthy in true crime matters, that you couldn't see that true evil was under your noses.
Yes, psychopaths are often deemed charming and charismatic - perhaps skilled communicators. The cowardly murderer in this case seems to be none of those.
