US Edition‘The Jury Must Be Relieved’: Why We Are Now Hearing Evidence Banned From Mushroom Murder Trial
LEONGATHA, VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA, AUG 10 – Erin Patterson was convicted of three murders and one attempted murder for serving death cap mushroom-laced beef Wellington to her estranged husband's family, the deadly lunch killing three relatives.
- In Leongatha, the Victorian jury convicted Erin Patterson of three murders and one attempted murder after prosecutors alleged she deliberately spiked a beef Wellington with death cap mushrooms on July 29, 2023.
- Simon Patterson believed he’d been targeted since 2021, was hospitalised after meals in November 2021 and May 2022, and withdrew from the lunch citing discomfort.
- Separating the trials, Victorian Supreme Court Justice Christopher Beale ruled on March 14 that allegations of attempted poisoning against Erin Patterson require a separate trial, with prosecutors dropping those charges before the murder trial.
- Late last month, the Victorian Supreme Court placed a restraining order on Patterson’s Leongatha home and scheduled a two-day pre-sentence hearing for August 25 and 26.
- A UK media outlet offered Simon Patterson up to $500K, and the DPP is seeking claims on his $1.2 million home.
