from The Mushroom Murder Trial: Erin Patterson’s True Crimes · host Mushroom Murder Trial
🚨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.
