@australiancommunitymedia: Judge's full remarks as Erin Patterson sentenced to life in prison #ErinPatterson #sentencing Watch the full remarks of Supreme Court Justice Christopher Beale as Erin Patterson is sentenced to life imprisonment with a non-parole period of 33 years over the fatal mushroom lunch that gripped Australia. Erin Patterson has been handed a life sentence for the deaths of three family members poisoned at a mushroom lunch in regional Victoria. Supreme Court Justice Christopher Beale sentenced her to life imprisonment for the murders of Gail and Don Patterson and Heather Wilkinson, and 25 years for the attempted murder of Ian Wilkinson, with all sentences to be served concurrently. The ruling came after a three-month trial that heard from more than 50 witnesses about the fatal July 2023 beef Wellington meal. Justice Beale said Patterson’s actions amounted to an “enormous betrayal of trust” and fell into the worst category of murder. He fixed a non-parole period of 33 years. #truecrime #mushroom #leongatha
