Topic History of: Australian mushroom poisoning case

Jo	I think this woman must have wanted to harm her guests. The defence is apparently that it was all a terrible accident, but I can't see how someone can prepare a meal and accidentally add a lethal ingredient to four out of five servings. And it seems that it wasn't one big dish (logical if she wasn't poisoned herself) but individual beef wellingtons. Mushroom meal survivor takes the stand in Erin Patterson's trial Wilkinson said each plate had a serving of mashed potatoes, green beans and an individually-cased beef Wellington, which resembled a pasty. "When you cut into it there was steak and mushrooms," he said.

Green Man	Poison is normally the method used by women.
Jo	Not sure if the people invited to the dinner were all her adult relatives. I haven't seen reports saying that. Why the jury will never be told a reason for Erin Patterson's deadly mushroom meal (2023) Mushroom chef an ‘experienced forager’ In a written statement sent to cops on Friday, Ms Patterson — who denies any wrongdoing — gave her first account of what happened before and after the fatal lunch. She said she served the meal and allowed the guests to choose their own plates — and she also ate a portion of the beef wellington herself. The mushrooms were a mixture of button mushrooms from a major supermarket chain, and dried mushrooms from an Asian grocery store in Melbourne months before, she added. There's no way I'd eat anything containing wild mushrooms foraged by someone [the prosecution and defence apparently agree that she foraged the deadly mushrooms], no matter how experienced they might be, especially after this story!
Wyot	Who knows? But it doesn't make sense to me in terms of motive trying to wipe out all your adult relatives. Usually, it will be either a heat of the moment against one, or financially motivated. If she is guilty will this make her the first serial killer targetting any known adult relatives!? And how goes that motive arise? Not convinced.
