Erin Patterson Mushroom Murder Trial Live Updates: accused Killer comes in day eight in the witness box

Patterson is accused of lying about drinking herbal tea the morning after lunch.

The jury heard that Patterson’s son said his mother drank coffee the morning after lunch.

“You say he is mistaken?” Asked Dr. Rogers.

“I believe he made an assumption,” said Patterson.

Patterson agreed that someone with diarrhea would probably not drink coffee, but denied lying over the herbal tea.

Dr. Rogers also suggested that Patterterson lied about taking imodium to treat its symptoms.

“Disagree,” said Patterterson.

Dr. Rogers (depicted) suggested that Patterson invented ‘her betting hedging’ and several different sources for the Death Caps.

The made -up stories Dr. Rogers claimed that Patterterson made up that she got dried mushrooms from an Asian grocer.

Patterson, who today is wearing a black top with white dots, has shown images of mushrooms between April 23 and May 5 in 2020.

Dr. Rogers asked Patterson if she ate one of the mushrooms in the images or fed one to her children.

The suspect said she can’t remember.

Patterson agreed that it “probably seems like”, she drove to Loch South on 22 or 23, 2023.

But she denied visiting Loch South to feed for Death Caps.

Dr. Matthew Sorell (photo) gave proof that a phone ping possibly also brought Patterterson to Outtrim on 22 May.

The jury heard fungal expert Dr. Tom May – Under the Funkey Tom handle – placed a Death Cap -Observing on Inaturist in May 2023.

Dr. Rogers suggested on Wednesday that Patterterson the inaturalistic post of Dr. May Las and Outtrim went looking for Death Caps.

Patterson did not agree and said she could not remember that she would ever surpass in May 2023.

Dr. Rogers also suggested that telephone records show that Patterson “did not traditionally travel to Loch and Outtrim.”

“I don’t know,” Patterson replied.

Patterson was reminded of evidence that she gave where she was going to forage with her children on mushrooms.

‘I think they even found a few [of mushrooms] For me at one point, “Patterson told the jury earlier.

Dr. Rogers reminded Patterson of the proof of her son where he said he was never with his mother or father looking for mushrooms.

The son said he remembered that he saw mushrooms grow while walking with his mother and sister in 2020 and 2021, but did not remember that he chose one.

The son said his mother took a picture of a wild mushroom, but he said ‘he never’ knew his mother to forage or pick wild mushrooms.

Patterson’s daughter also said that she had never gone to mushrooms and had never seen one while she was with her mother.

Dr. Rogers suggested that the children of Patterson never knew that her mother forces wild mushrooms.

“I suggest that this is a story that you have made up for this jury, agree or disagree?” Said Dr. Rogers.

“There disagree,” Patterson replied.

The persecution has claimed that Patterson lied over the leftovers to give her ‘distance from intentional poisoning’.

Dr. Rogers asked Patterterson why she served the meal to her children, knowing that Don and Gail were sick.

Patterson claimed she didn’t know that.

Patterson said the children were ‘confused’ about why Don and Gail (photo) were sick.

In his evidence, Patterson’s son said she told him on Sunday evening that his grandparents were not good.

Patterson agreed that she might have told him that. “

Dr. Rogers suggested that Patterterson lied over the leftovers.

Dr. Rogers also suggested that Patterson told different people that she was struck mushrooms and that is why they were not sick.

Dr. Rogers (photo) showed Patterterson a map of the Monash Council LGA.

Patterson’s son said that he and his sister were staying in the Mount Waverley apartment in March or April 2023.

Dr. Rogers suggested that Patterterson was ‘very well known’ with Mount Waverley and the surrounding areas.

Dr. Rogers suggested that the accused was ‘vague’ about the suburb of where the Asian store was and continued to change her story.

“That’s because the Asian supermarket was a deliberate lie, correct or incorrect?” Asked Dr. Rogers.

“Incorrect,” Patterson replied.

On Wednesday, Patterson claimed that she ate a kilo of mushrooms between July 23 and July 27.

Dr. Nanette Rogers suggested that Patterterson bought mushrooms between July 23 and 27 kg.

“Incorrect,” Patterson replied.

Patterterson said that the quantity was a kilo and a half and that she ate a kilo and used the rest of the mushrooms for the Wellingtons.

Dr. Rogers suggested that this is an ‘untruth’.

“Disagree,” said Patterterson.

Dr. Rogers suggested that Patterterson had twice the amount of mushrooms that killed the recipe for reception and it was not necessary to add extra mushrooms.

In Patterterson, this morning, the witness box will enter for what is expected to be in the stands in her own marathon murder process this morning.

Patterson has been a large drawcard with dozens of members of the audience who defies the cold to put the courthouse in line very early every morning (photo) to get a chair in the first row in the courtroom.

Patterterson, 50, is accused of killing her in -laws, Don and Gail Patterson, and Gail’s sister, Heather Wilkinson, after she reported a lunch with beef Wellington with Death Cap Champignons.

Patterson is also accused of trying to kill Heather’s husband, pastor Ian Wilkinson, who survived lunch after having spent a few weeks in an intensive care department.

The court heard that the alienated husband of Patterson, Simon, was also invited to the meeting in her house in Leongatha, in the Gippland region in Victoria, but was not present.

Witnesses told that the jury Patterterson ate her of a smaller, different colored plate than that of its guests, those four gray plates ate.

Patterson told the authorities that they bought dried mushrooms from an unnamed Asian store in the Melbourne Monash environment, but health inspectors could not find any proof of this.

Last week Justice Christopher Beale told the jury that it was possible that the process could continue for a few weeks.

Justice Beale said that once the evidence is completed, he will have legal discussions with the parties while the jury is out before the closing of addresses can begin.

Crown officer of Justice Dr. Nanette Rogers SC said yesterday that she will complete Cross-Examining Patterterson today.
