PoliticsPhoto: HT WorldJudges to Decide Appeal of Australian Mushroom Killer Erin Patterson
Erin Patterson, convicted for murdering three relatives in 2023 by poisoning them with death cap mushrooms in a beef Wellington meal, will learn on Friday if her appeal to overturn the conviction succeeds. Sentenced to life with parole eligibility after 33 years, her lawyers claim trial irregularities. Prosecutors also appeal, seeking a harsher sentence. The Melbourne Court of Appeal will rule on both appeals.
