Victoria’s court of appeal will deliver rulings from 10am Friday on Erin Patterson’s appeal against her triple-murder conviction and on whether she could face more prison time, after August hearings. She was sentenced to life with a 33-year non-parole minimum for killing her estranged husband’s parents Don and Gail Patterson and his aunt Heather Wilkinson with a poisoned beef wellington lunch; Heather’s husband Ian survived attempted murder. She is not expected to attend. Outcomes include denying leave, upholding conviction, ordering a retrial, or entering acquittal; if acquittal or retrial follows, the sentence appeal need not be decided.
