New Evidence Emerges in Erin Patterson Case

A judge has lifted a gag order on evidence in the Erin Patterson case, revealing that her estranged husband, Simon Patterson, suspected she had tried to poison him several times between 2021 and 2022, though all charges related to him were dropped before trial and no poisons were found. Erin Patterson was recently convicted of murdering her in-laws with a meal containing death cap mushrooms. Simon reportedly suffered severe illnesses from dishes he believed were poisoned and avoided a 2023 lunch invitation due to safety fears. Evidence also shows Patterson researched poisonous substances and disposed of items linked to the fatal meal. These details, previously withheld, have emerged as Patterson seeks to overturn her convictions. The case remains high-profile due to its disturbing allegations and ongoing legal proceedings.
