I guess manslaughter does have a smaller sentence than murder 1

She might have! It just kept coming out with more and more suspicious stuff lmao

From what I remember, she had it in her browsing history and also had a dehydrator that she bought specially to prep the mushrooms that she did a bad job of disposing.

The day after she was discharged from hospital, CCTV captured Erin travelling to a local dump and disposing of a food dehydrator later found to contain traces of poisonous mushrooms.

She was also using three phones around the time of the lunch, two of which disappeared shortly afterwards. The one she did hand over to police had been repeatedly wiped – including while detectives were searching her house.

For investigators, the red flags began mounting quickly.

Questions about the source of the mushrooms elicited odd answers. Patterson claimed some of them had been bought dried from an Asian grocery in Melbourne, but she couldn't remember which suburb. When asked about the brand, or for transaction records, she said they were in plain packaging and she must've paid cash.

You could just not tell them.

I'm probably in the minority on this particular post. But this would NOT kill me.

Ew mushrooms. I'd pick them all off and have a pile of poison on my plate's edge.

Assuming nothing leached out.

I don't fully understand my hatred, but mushrooms do not belong in food. My only exception so far, and I'll try most things once, is wood ear mushrooms, which give me seaweed vibes and are just sort of chewy/crunchy.
