The trial of Erin Patterson, accused of the triple murder of her in-laws following a mushroom poisoning, unfolded with a detailed and structured narrative from the Crown. At the heart of the prosecution's case is the claim that Patterson intentionally foraged for death cap mushrooms, prepared a lethal meal, and took deliberate steps to conceal her actions. The Crown presented a timeline of events and medical evidence to support the assertion that Patterson was not actually poisoned, but instead orchestrated a series of deceptions to mask her guilt.
