When Erin Patterson went to the hospital or even knew about her
dinner guests being in hospital after her meal -
she should have taken all mushrooms she had in a bag and any leftover or
thrown out food from that meal to the hospital so the chemists there
could analyze it for poisons.
There is an antidote for death caps and if taken soon enough
they may very well have still been alive.

All she did was hide the truth and try to cover up any evidence -
then claim she panicked in case it was pinned on her -
she didn't think about those poor people who were poisoned by her food -
only herself.
Just her bad attitude would make me vote against her if I was in the jury -
whether the poisonings were deliberate or not.

Also -
I would never serve anyone mushrooms that were picked in the wild
without telling my guests first because
everyone knows that wild mushrooms can be poisonous and are hard to identify.
She gave the guests no chance to refuse the meal.

Things the court heard today
Mikaela Ortolan profile image
By Mikaela Ortolan

Erin Patterson took to the witness box for a seventh day today, as lead prosecutor Nanette Rogers SC continued to question her.

Here's what the court heard:

1.Dr Rogers said Ms Patterson was "initially reluctant" to have her children assessed at hospital following the deadly lunch because she knew they had not eaten leftovers from the contaminated meal and their lives were not at risk. Ms Patterson said that was incorrect.

2.Ms Patterson was asked why she would feed her children leftovers even though she'd been experiencing diarrhoea in the aftermath of the lunch and knew some of the guests were unwell. Ms Patterson said she "didn't know or suspect" the meal had made them ill.

3.Ms Patterson accepted that the ENRICH Clinic in Melbourne, where she previously told the jury she had an appointment regarding gastric-bypass surgery, did not offer gastric-bypass procedures.

4. The accused maintains she bought dried mushrooms which she believed ended up in the fatal meal from an Asian grocer in Melbourne's south-east. But the prosecution said that was a "deliberate lie" because "you knew you were guilty of deliberately poisoning your [guests]". Ms Patterson rejected that.

5.Ms Patterson told the jury a beef Wellington was "the perfect meal" for pungent dried mushrooms. Ms Patterson previously told the court she had avoided using dried mushrooms she purchased from an Asian grocer because of their strong smell.

I can’t see that they have proven she did it on purpose?

Indeed.

No motive either.

My gut tells me that she's guilty, but if I was on that jury there's no way I could convict.

A gut feeling isn't good enough, and the prosecution's evidence just isn't convincing enough.

Erin Patterson is a very devious woman and a compulsive liar.

She went to great pains to lure her guests to lunch by stating she had been diagnosed with cancer.  Why?

She deviously ensured that only her guests ate the Beef Wellingtons with the death cap mushrooms in it.  Why?

As far as I am concerned she is guilty. Whether the jury finds the same is another thing.

Apparently she was found to have changed her stories a lot with contradictions and lies which basically helped to do herself in.

Totally guilty.
Wy would anyone procure poisonous mushrooms?
I'ld imagine poisonous mushrooms are not easy to get.
They are not commercially available.
Why would anyone go out of their way to identify, travel somewhere, pick some, then bring poisonous mushrooms home?
Why put them in a desiccator?
Why discard the desiccator away afterwards?
