Erin Patterson, 50, was convicted of poisoning her estranged husband's family with a toxic beef Wellington, resulting in three deaths and a near-fatality. Publicly released police interviews revealed Patterson's lies about sourcing dried mushrooms and her interest in mushroom foraging. The court lifted a gag order, exposing her husband's suspicions of being targeted before the murders. Patterson will appear in court on August 25 for a pre-sentence hearing.
