Erin Patterson, convicted of killing three in a 2024 mushroom poisoning, seeks appeal extension and legal aid.
Erin Patterson, convicted of murdering three people by serving them death cap mushroom-laced beef Wellingtons in July 2024, faces a court appearance as her 28-day appeal window nears its end.
Her legal team, now led by a new barrister, plans to seek a 28-day extension under a new rule that doubles the appeal period to 56 days without justification.
Patterson, 51, is also expected to apply for legal aid amid a restraining order on her $1.2 million home.
She was sentenced to life in prison with a 33-year non-parole period, making her ineligible for parole until 2056.
The jury found her guilty of three murders and attempted murder of survivor Ian Wilkinson, a Baptist pastor who forgave her.
The prosecution has not yet decided whether to seek a harsher sentence.
