Accused of one of the most high-profile murder cases in Victoria,Patterson sits content as justice moves glacially around her.
Mushrooms imported to Australia have been linked to serious and fatal outbreaks of listeria and salmonella,but are going largely unchecked by federal authorities.

Erin Patterson’s Leongatha property has been hit by burglars three times in a month,with her car and electrical goods allegedly stolen.
Alleged triple murderer Erin Patterson listed her three-bedroom house for about $1 million,but it sold before auction.
The three-bedroom residence has a price guide of $960,000 to $1.05 million. It is not the property where the mushroom lunch was served.
