It's open to you as the jury to find that Erin Patterson was in a place called Locke and another place called Outram after there were public posts put on iNaturalist identifying those locations as having death cut mushrooms.
So they didn't know exactly, but they were saying our case is that she got them from either Outram or Locke on either of these occasions in the weeks leading up to lunch, effectively.
She effectively sort of said that she hadn't made that recipe before, but she wanted to do something different because it was a special lunch.
She couldn't find the exact ingredients to follow the recipe that she'd found, so she sort of ad-libbed and instead of
You know, buying one big sirloin, she decided to just buy individual sirloin steaks.
She said she was, you know, cooking down the mushrooms, as the recipe sort of called for, but then they didn't, you know, taste particularly good.
They tasted a bit bland, so she threw in some dried mushrooms that she had in the pantry.
Very much the, you know, I guess the sort of through line of her evidence was one of
having a great deal of love and respect for the people she was alleged to have killed, having no reason to want them gone, having had some issues in her relationship with Simon, but that, you know, had no reason at all to have done what she was alleged to have done.
The trial went on and on and on.
It dragged far longer than anyone thought.
It went for 11 weeks in the end and, you know, Erin Patterson's evidence was, you know, the most dramatic period of those 11 weeks.
And there was a point, you know, in her evidence where I could see a path that
to her being found not guilty again you know just to sort of emphasize this is not you know criminal trials are not about a lot of the time are not about someone's innocence you know they're but they're about whether there's enough evidence for them to be found guilty you know beyond reasonable doubt and
There was just enough, I thought, at times early on in her evidence to suggest that a jury or, you know, it could be enough for a single juror to have some doubt about whether she'd intended to kill people with those, you know, poisonous beef Wellingtons.
But eventually the jury came down and they found Erin Patterson guilty of all charges.
Basically, in Australia, once there's a guilty verdict handed down, the jury get sent out, they're thanked for their work, and there then is what's effectively called a plea hearing for where the prosecution...
give their side of the sentence they think Erin Paterson should get.
And Erin Paterson's lawyers basically say, well, these are the mitigating sort of circumstances.
In Erin's case, there wasn't a lot of them.
