Life non parole period 33 years. - ABC live stream

At least she’ll be 83 before she even has a chance to apply for parole. I’m disappointed in the concurrent sentences.

ABC Australia is showing it live. Not sure if it can be seen offshore:

Yes! I got to watch it live here in the US, although my wifi cut out a couple of times. It's 5:20pm here on Sunday evening.

She got the maximum sentences, non parole period is too soft, IMO

Life with Non parole 33yrs

Her Defence asked for 30 years. I hope the setting of the non-parole period means she won't appeal. Her victims deserve peace.

Erin Patterson glares at reporters in court​

By​

Erin Patterson has opened her eyes briefly and glared towards the media when the judge said she would remain a notorious prisoner for many years due to the intense media coverage.

“I infer that given the unprecedented media coverage of your case and the books, documentaries and TV series about you, which are all in the pipeline, you are likely to remain a notorious prisoner for many years to come, and as such, remain at significant risk from other prisoners.”

Erin Patterson has been sentenced to life in prison. She must serve 33 years before she is eligible for parole. This is the day in court as it happened.

[Cliff Hardy]

25 + LIFE + LIFE + LIFE = LIFE

Not by any sensible mathematics it doesn't.

Our system leaves a lot to be desired.

 

[MrJ]

was hoping for LWOP.

 

[BerylTutu]

She showed no mercy to her victims and she likewise should receive no mercy now in sentencing IMO

 

[LinasK]

​

“Erin Patterson’s eyes have remained closed now for more than 10 minutes.”

She has absolutely no respect!!

It's like la-la-la I don't hear you!

 

[MrJ]

I wish Beale would’ve said ‘Erin open your eyes and look at me when I’m talking to you!’

It's like la-la-la I don't hear you!

 

[Scuffy35]

That was disappointing

Yes, and the served concurrently BS.

Just because of prison conditions. Maybe JB should have asked for her to be guaranteed to be in solitary confinement for the rest of her term since the setting of a non-parole period sentencing was based on assumption that she "could" be in solitarily confinement for the rest of her term.

 

[whitelilac]

Terrible terrible case.
I don't know how this monstrous woman lives with herself.

 

[tillytatler]

Bedtime for me now! Pleased I tuned in though, that was an interesting and at times moving watch. I have enjoyed, if that is the right word, following the case with you all here.

 

[LinasK]

Agreed! Who cares if she has to life her life in solitary confinement??? He said she is the worst of the worst and chose not to socialize with the few people she could. She will re-offend given the chance when she's 83. I think the other prisoners ARE in danger from her. She should have gotten LWOP- no chance at parole for her crimes. Aussies, you need to change your laws IMHO.

 

[Megnut]

It doesn't feel like she got compound sentences.

Multiple murders should be multiple lifes. 33 + 33 + 33.
