About this episode
In this emergency episode Caroline and Wayne have the moment Erin Patterson was sentenced to life in prison.
She will serve at least 33 years for the murders of Don and Gail Patterson and Heather Wilkinson, and the attempted murder of Heather’s husband Ian.
For the first time ever in Melbourne’s Supreme Court, the judge was broadcast live as he told her she had shown no pity for her victims.
He also said it would never be known if their lives could have been saved, if doctors had known sooner that they had eaten death cap mushrooms.
He said her crimes fell into the worst category and she knew her victims would suffer.
