The Mushroom Murder Trial: Erin Patterson’s True Crimes

Deadly Mushrooms and Legal Battles: Following Erin Patterson’s Appeal

08 Oct 2025

Description

🚨Prosecutors in Victoria are now appealing against the mushroom murderer’s sentence, arguing it was — quote — “manifestly inadequate.”Erin Patterson, aged 51, was jailed for life last month with a non-parole period of 33 years.That means she’ll be well into her eighties before she can even apply for parole. This is one of the longest sentences ever handed to a female offender in Australian history.But the department of Public Prosecutions has confirmed it’s not satisfied with the sentence. Prosecutors this week filed an appeal, saying it was simply too lenient given the nature of Patterson’s crimes — the deliberate poisoning of her in-laws.Meanwhile, we've also learned from Patterson’s legal team that she planned to appeal her convictions — although, as of now, that hasn’t been formally lodged.📄 Website: www.mushroommurdertrial.com#erinpatterson#mushroommurders#mushroomkiller#TheMushroomCase#ErinPattersonTrial#erinpattersonupdate#mushroommurderappeal#ErinPattersonSentencing#ErinPattersonNewsSupport the showInstagram @Erin_PodcastTwitter @lisapodcastsMushroom Murder Trial Website
