Australian mushroom murderer loses appeal
MELBOURNE: Australian mushroom murderer Erin Patterson lost her bid to overturn her convictions on Friday, failing to prove that she was wrongfully jailed for killing three people with a poisoned lunch.
Melbourne, Australia - Erin Patterson, the Australian woman known as the "mushroom murderer," has lost her appeal against her convictions for the triple murder of her husband's parents and elderly aunt. Patterson attempted to overturn her convictions by arguing that her triple murder convictions were a miscarriage of justice. The Court of Appeal in Victoria state dismissed her application, finding insufficient grounds for a retrial.
The court ruled that Patterson's non-parole period should be set aside, meaning she is likely to die in prison, as her original jail sentence made her eligible for release after 33 years.
