Erin Patterson recounts mushroom foraging in trial for allegedly serving fatal meal to in-laws during COVID lockdowns.

In Short:
Erin Patterson continues her trial for the deaths of her in-laws, discussing her mushroom foraging hobby and the use of toxic mushrooms in a meal. The prosecution must determine if she intentionally served the poisonous meal amid personal and financial struggles.

Erin Patterson continues her testimony in Morwell as her trial for the deaths of three relatives unfolds. She discussed her interest in foraging wild mushrooms, which began during Victoria’s COVID lockdowns.

Ms Patterson revealed that she became more confident in identifying various mushrooms over time. She acknowledged using death cap mushrooms in a meal served to her in-laws, who later died.

The court also heard details about her strained financial relations with her estranged husband, Simon, which contributed to emotional distress. Ms Patterson expressed regret for disparaging messages sent about her in-laws during a period of conflict.

Health concerns

During her testimony, she shared experiences that eroded her faith in the health system, particularly regarding her children’s health concerns. Ms Patterson clarified that she had never been diagnosed with cancer, but had been dealing with various health issues.

The prosecution’s case hinges on whether Ms Patterson intentionally served a poisonous meal. Witnesses from both families have attended the trial, highlighting the tragedy of the situation.

In Short:
– Japan’s PM Sanae Takaichi will negotiate with Trump on pickups, soybeans, and natural gas next week.
– Takaichi won’t commit to new defence spending, focusing on strengthening U.S.-Japan relations and investment discussions.
Japan’s new Prime Minister, Sanae Takaichi, is preparing to negotiate with U.S. President Donald Trump next week, aiming to present a package that includes U.S. pickups, soybeans, and natural gas.Takaichi’s administration will not commit to new defence spending at the meeting, despite U.S. pressure for Japan and allies to increase contributions. The meeting will take place during Trump’s first visit to Japan since his re-election, following a prior agreement for Japan to invest up to $550 billion in the U.S. in exchange for lower car tariffs.

The alliance with the U.S. is crucial to Japan’s foreign and security policy, according to Takaichi. A successful dialogue with Trump could strengthen her government, which operates with a parliamentary minority. Washington’s support is essential for Takaichi to advance her regional security agenda.

Diplomatic Details

Main initiatives include purchasing Ford F-150 pickup trucks, an idea suggested by Trump, and increasing U.S. soybean imports amidst declining exports to China. U.S. pickups are impractical for most Japanese consumers but may find utility in specific roles like snow plowing.

Japan plans to enhance its acquisition of U.S. liquefied natural gas, although it will not initially source from a Trump-favoured Alaskan pipeline. Investment discussions will accompany the trade talks, ensuring that Takaichi maintains commitments made by her predecessor.

In defence, Takaichi seeks to solidify ties with the U.S., with Japan housing a significant U.S. military presence. Japan’s defence strategy will undergo reviews to potentially accelerate military capabilities.
