About this episode

The episode discusses Erin Patterson's appeal against her murder convictions, focusing on her foraging interests and the lies she told police.

Erin Patterson's interest in foraging for wild mushrooms was at the centre of the second day of her appeal against her convictions for murder and attempted murder, which she has always denied, as prosecutors zeroed in on the lies she told police. The DPP also put forward its case for why she should never be released from prison as they appeal her sentence.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
