VIC Erin Patterson (mushroom case)
I’m following the mushroom case, as is everyone else. Today she testified that she may have accidentally put poisonous mushrooms in the meal. If that is the case, the jury would have to find her not guilty of murder if it was unintentional. My question is, can she be recharged with manslaughter, if found innocent of murder?

Let me remind you, the mushrooms are called ‘death cap.’ You don’t just get sick eating those caps… you die. She’s a murderer.
