Erin Patterson: Judge’s hidden message in sentence
#erinpatterson #mushroom #crime #australia #news
Judges sometimes talk in code, a top lawyer says – and there was one clear message in triple murderer Erin Patterson’s sentencing that the public might have missed.
Patterson will spend at least 33 years in prison, with Justice Christopher Beale saying on Monday morning her offending fell into the “worst category”.
The judge said Patterson had showed “no evidence of remorse” after the murders, adding: “Your offending involved an enormous betrayal of trust.
“Your victims were all your relatives by marriage. More than that, they had all been good to you and your children over many years.”
Justice Beale also mentioned an offer of forgiveness from Patterson’s victim Ian Wilkinson, the sole survivor of the poisoned lunch that killed three of her in-laws.
