Prosecution begins cross examination of Erin Patterson in mushroom murder trial

Published
Accused triple-murderer Erin Patterson has denied intentionally putting death cap mushrooms into a beef wellington dish that left three lunch guests dead and one gravely ill. Under prosecution questioning, she was accused of lying about a cancer diagnosis because she anticipated her in-laws wouldn't survive the meal, and therefore be able to hold her accountable.
