So the trial opened

on April 29th, 2025, inside the Supreme Court of Victoria, sitting at the Latrobe Valley Courts in Morwell, and the courtroom sat in a small town.

The home where the lunch had taken place was less than an hour's drive away, and Justice Christopher Beale presided.

And before the first witness was called, the charges had already shifted, and prosecutors dropped every count connected to Simon Patterson.

And the three attempted murder charges alleging she had poisoned him on separate occasions in 2021 and 2022 were now gone.

And so was the charge that she had tried to kill him at the July lunch.

But what remained was the three counts of murder for Dawn Patterson,

Gail Patterson and Heather Wilkinson, and one count of attempted murder for Ian Wilkinson.

And Erin pleaded not guilty to all charges, because she's an evil piece of shit, as we now know.

And the evidence phase alone consumed seven weeks, followed by six days of closing arguments and six and a half days behind the jury room door.

And over those weeks, the courtroom heard two entirely different versions of the same woman.

Prosecutor Nanette Rogers SC built her case around what she called four calculated deceptions.

First, a fabricated cancer diagnosis invented to lure the victims to a table.

Second, death cap mushrooms placed into the Beep Wellingtons in quantities meant to kill.

And Rogers pointed to the photographs recovered from Patterson's tablet, which were death caps on a set of kitchen scales.

It doesn't get much more guilty than that.

And fungi specialist Tom May had examined them and identified the mushrooms as amanita phalloids, quote unquote, with a high level of confidence.

And Rogers argued Patterson had weighed the mushrooms to calculate the weight required for the administration of fatal dose for one person and the weight required for five fatal doses for five people.

unquote.
