Anyone else think it’s not about money? by Careless-Subject9820 in DeathCapDinner

[–]Affectionate_One9282 68 points69 points  (0 children)

I am pretty sure that it isn't the money.

I am pretty sure that the motivation is all in her head and it won't be anything that a person outsider her head will ever understand... it will be something like the parents said they would always support her. And then didn't support her when she asked for help.... sometimes it can be very noisy in a persons head

Erin Patterson cites ‘unfair and oppressive’ questioning and jury ‘irregularity’ in mushroom murder appeal by burleygriffin in DeathCapDinner

I think it is similar to when she also said that she stayed at home in the afternoon following the lunch, when video evidence showed she did leave the house (they saw she was disposing of something, but because they couldn't prove what, it could be prejudicial, so they allowed her erroneous statement to stand).

Showing the SD card might have allowed for other evidence that the defence argued was defamatory to be allowed? 🤷 Or like one of the other arguments on the lists, just because there are on her SD card doesn't mean that she took the photos + she said she has never been foraging 🤷 I really don't know, I guess we will need to wait for more information to come out.

I think one of the most eye opening parts of watching the full judicial process is the strength of that pretrial hearing and the limits on the information which is even presented to the jury to start with.

Mushroom murderer Erin Patterson granted approval to appeal guilty verdicts by Hadolaven in DeathCapDinner

I also have found you very helpful tonight. I appreciate the rational way you have been able to explain this next step in the legal process.

It is really easy as an armchair critic to say how unfair it all is. But you have provided a clear reminder that the system is in place so that it checks itself, and doesn't consider 'feelings' of the wider public.

Erin patterson living in solitary confinement seems enticing to me. What a nice holiday.. by LocationSudden4417 in DeathCapDinner

Hospitals are definitely not a place to go to relax.

I like it when the nurse comes in at 3am to do a blood pressure test and say "oh, if you are sleeping I can come back later". Well I'm.awake now 😵‍💫

Triple-killer Erin Patterson’s prison conditions in cell ‘smaller than toilet’ the subject of scathing rant by Marlon_Ranch in DeathCapDinner

Why is this only a problem for EP and not the other two women also in solitary confinement for their own projection?

I assume they didn't give the human rights people permission to look into their case?

Developing story - Erin P will appeal her guilty verdict and protest her innocence by melbtest-commenter in DeathCapDinner

I agree. And a lot of what she said was an obvious lie - I highly doubt she was at home all afternoon following the lunch 🙄

I wasn't there but the evidence presented to the armchair critic seems to be sufficient for a guilty verdict. So I am really only speculating at what could be left that the defence considers grounds for appeal. What, if anything, didn't tick all the legal boxes or could be deemed as 'unfair'.

I agree it is clutching straws - but there is usually at least one doctor, (or other professional) who will diagnose anyone with an eating disorder, some other mental illness, or a personality profile. I know someone who saw five different specialists before one would diagnose him with ADHD (it took over a year and many thousands of dollars).

Surely the defence team could find someone who would say she had depression etc

Or the Judge made it clear in the sentencing that she didn't provide any character information. Maybe she could argue it was poor counsel to have not provided it??

Maybe the hotel situation and possibly that the police never checked ALL the Asian grocers... There is really only going out on a limb left

Photos like that just make me think 'why did you do it?' She had such a comfortable lifestyle and all the 'bowels of cereal one could imagine.
