Patterson fed children deadly lunch leftovers, despite illness

Erin Patterson testified she fed her children leftovers from a deadly beef Wellington lunch, despite experiencing illness after eating the meal herself. Patterson, on trial for murder and attempted murder, stated she scraped mushroom paste from the meat before serving it to her children. Prosecutors questioned her decision, given her prior symptoms and the subsequent illness of her in-laws after consuming the same meal. The prosecution also challenged Patterson's claims about the source of the mushrooms and her movements, suggesting she misled investigators and potentially sought out death cap mushrooms. The trial continues with further examination of evidence.
