Anyone else following along with the Erin Patterson trial still? She's on the stand today and it's fascinating.
Me! I think it's quite rare for the accused to take the stand in a murder trial, cross-examination by the prosecution is going to be a hoot.
Especially when she's already proven she's a liar! Everything she says I'm like "but did you?"
All the excuses she put up so far sounds so contradictory and also random. Sheβs definitely lying.
During their opening address the defender basically said "she's a liar, but not a murderer!"
Iβd say they so hand in hand in this case.
she's stupid , scared and defensive
she should have been coached
She sounds coached while talking about everything she's been through and how she regrets certain actions.
omg
Not hardcore, just listening to it whenever it pops up.
Yeah. I'm waiting for the prosecution to get stuck in. πΏπ
Ooh, I just bought some fun popcorn at the food and wine show, thanks for the reminder!
There's a book called Widow of Walcha that's quite interesting. It's about a NSW woman who attempted several poisonings on multiple lovers and eventually succeeded.
Ooh, thanks for the rec!
