An Australian woman, Erin Patterson, has been sentenced to life in prison with a non-parole period of 33 years. The judge found her guilty of poisoning four of her estranged husband’s relatives with death cap mushrooms. The mushrooms were discovered in a batch of food she was preparing. The sentencing follows a trial where prosecutors presented evidence linking Patterson to the deaths. The case highlights a complex legal matter involving the distribution of poisonous fungi.
