On foggy, freezing mornings for the past two and half months, members of the public have queued outside the Latrobe Valley law courts, hoping to catch a glimpse of proceedings in courtroom four.
The murder trial of Erin Patterson and her beef wellingtons laced with death cap mushrooms has gripped the imagination of the public. Media in Australia and around the world has focused its lens on Morwell in Victoria’s Gippsland region, which has embraced the attention. One local cafe even served mushroom soup throughout the proceedings.
