AI Summary

An Australian appeals court on Friday ruled that triple‑murderer Erin Patterson will never be released from prison after finding her poisoning of four estranged‑husband relatives with death‑cap mushrooms “shocking criminality.” The three judges of the Victoria Court of Appeal dismissed her appeal and upheld prosecutors’ challenge to the leniency of her 33‑year non‑parole sentence, meaning she will spend the rest of her life behind bars. Prior to the ruling, Patterson could have been considered for release at age 82.
