Stephen Stockwell

There has to be something more nefarious going on.

On this day last year, late in the afternoon, Erin Patterson was called to the witness box in her triple murder trial.

I'm Stephen Stockwell, and I remember that moment like it was yesterday.

She spent almost two weeks talking to the jury with new twists and turns to the story about the meal that killed her in-laws, but not her.

Everyone wanted to hear what Erin Patterson had to say, captured the attention of the world, and then five weeks later, a jury found her guilty of the murder of Don and Gail Patterson, Heather Wilkinson, and the attempted murder of Ian Wilkinson.

She's appealing that verdict, though, and now the Victorian Court of Appeal has confirmed it will be heard later this year, on August 19, with Erin Patterson's appeal for her convictions to be overturned heard alongside the prosecution's appeal for a longer sentence.

And we will absolutely follow this story as it unfolds.

Before then, because I know you've probably seen a lot of reporting about this, we thought a refresher on the grounds for this appeal would be handy.

And to do that, we're bringing you an episode from when it was lodged with Christian Silver breaking it down for us.

I hope you enjoy this.

I really liked listening back because there were things I had forgotten in here.

And don't go too far from the Case Soft feed.

We've got a special episode for you on Thursday.

And then next week, we're bringing you a whole new case.

We're going to take you inside the murder trial of Raymond Reddington, a man who

in Perth, accused of murdering his wife, Sharon Fulton, in 1986.

That case was cold for decades.

It was reopened partly because of an anonymous tip, but before then, enjoy this episode from November last year.

Homicide detectives are still piecing together what exactly happened at the lunch.

Erin Patterson's legal team confirmed she would be appealing her conviction for the murder of Don and Gail Patterson and Heather Wilkinson and her attempted murder conviction for Ian Wilkinson.
