Erin Patterson convicted of lacing family meal with deadly mushrooms, killing three.

Erin Patterson was convicted of murdering her mother, father, and sister by lacing their meal with deadly mushrooms at a family lunch in Leongatha, Australia. The attempted murder of her sister's husband failed, but he survived after weeks in a coma. The ten-week trial in Morwell captured international attention, with public interest so high that people queued daily to watch the proceedings. Patterson will be sentenced at a later date.
