The Erin Patterson trial was the Victorian supreme court’s biggest case in terms of media interest in recent history, with more than 250 journalists registering for court updates on the trial.
On Monday a jury found Patterson guilty of murdering three relatives and attempting to murder a fourth with a deadly beef wellington lunch laced with death cap mushrooms almost two years ago. The media coverage has been consistent and extensive during the two-and-a-half months of the trial and has dominated media outlets this week.
