Can't quite believe Erin Patterson is appealing. She was so obviously guilty

That she was found guilty is not very interesting. She was really bad at hiding her tracks.
What is far more interesting is the attempt to deny her guilt. That is really something. Putting everyone through all that palaver, concocting so many elaborate stories. What incredible ego to persevere with the charade. What kind of mind thinks for one second they would get away with it?
And what ego would even attempt to murder a bunch of people anyway? That's what I want to know.

Well at last there’s an unsurprising verdict on the Erin Patterson mushroom murders case. I hope the survivor and the families of the victims will be able to find some peace after having the worst thing to ever happen to them became a global media spectacle.
I also feel for the jury. To be asked to spend so long on a case that is going to be scrutinised by dozens of podcasts, hundreds of news outlets and millions of people but not be able to talk about it is a huge ask and an experience that will likely haunt them for life.
This was always going to be newsworthy but it never should have been treated so much like entertainment.
In einer australischen Kleinstadt isst Erin Patterson mit vier Verwandten zu Mittag. Drei Gäste sind wenig später tot - gestorben durch einen hochgiftigen Pilz. Im Prozess muss die Jury nun über eine Frage entscheiden: War es Mord oder ein tragisches Versehen?
The daily details of how Erin Patterson tries to explain away the very compelling evidence is not so interesting to me.
I'd rather these podcasts talk about why she's bothering to lie about it still. That's what's interesting. Why keep up this charade?
Re the mushroom case, I have come to the conclusion that Erin Patterson is bloody stupid if she's guilty, and bloody stupid if she's innocent.
