Erin Patterson, a proven liar, sitting on the stand and claiming that everyone else is lying about her and what she said is actually wild.
There's a bloke in the US like that and he's currently the President.
If you believe your own lie, it'll manifest itself as truth.
Woof, well done.
Sometimes being right is a curse.
She keeps asserting her lies until she gets completely cornered by the evidence and then changes the story and comes up with some excuse for the lies. Excuses like, oh I was embarrassed, oh I got confused, etc. I think she did it.
My wife has been fascinated by this case and listens to the daily podcast about it. She's gone from "oh she definitely did it" to "maybe she's innocent, I can't be say beyond reasonable doubt" after this week's testimony. So Erin is clearly doing some good for her case on the stand.
I haven't been following the case closely, but I listened to one recap podcast a week ago where they describe the multiple phones, the missing phone seen on camera that wasn't provided, with the one provided to police being factory reset first, and taking her dehydrator on CCTV to the tip after telling police she didn't have one - it was all pretty damning.
but she didn't have a dehydrator, she used to have one
I would like to see the police questioning, I bet it wasn't very good
Shows that the defence is doing a very good job! I think Erin is destroying it for them though.
She says 6 were made, one each for her guests, one for her and one that her child ate part of minus the toxic mushrooms which she scraped off.
3 people dead, one seriously ill, one made herself puke because she ate too much cake and one unscathed. Something doesn't add up.
Itβs wild that sheβs saying βI neverβ in relation to plates and announcing cancer, when her FIL says the opposite
I reckon the only reason she recited those plates are because they're the ones that were shown on the evidence video earlier in the trial.
