The Trial of Erin Patterson

• No Pity

  In this emergency episode Caroline and Wayne have the moment Erin Patterson was sentenced to life in prison. She will serve at least 33 years for the murders of Don and Gail Patterson and Heather Wilkinson, and the attempted murder of Heather’s husband Ian. For the first time ever in Melbourne’s Supreme Court, the judge was broadcast live as he told her she had shown no pity for her victims. He also said it would never be known if their lives could have been saved, if doctors had known sooner that they had eaten death cap mushrooms. He said her crimes fell into the worst category and she knew her victims would suffer. The Trial series uses actors and some voices generated by AI.

• The Final Injustice

  In this special extra episode Caroline and Wayne have the words from the victims of Erin Patterson as they addressed a court in Melbourne today. Erin Patterson sat in the dock listening intently as members of the families told her she had taken the lives of people who only did good in the world, and they asked over and over again how she could have gone through with her “cold and calculated” plan to murder. They said the “ultimate injustice” was never having an explanation for why she did what she did. The statements delivered in court today will now be considered by the judge who will hand down her sentence in two weeks.The Trial series uses actors and some voices generated by AI.

• “Where the Fuck is She?”

  In this final episode of this series - for now - Caroline and Wayne interview one of the key witnesses in the case. Dr Chris Webster suspected Erin Patterson of doing something “macabre” within minutes of seeing her at the hospital and he said as two of the people she poisoned were lying in beds feet away from her she didn’t even go to see them.
