Erin Patterson found guilty of three counts of murder and the attempted murder of the lone survivor.

A 12 -member jury reached the verdict after six days of deliberation following a 10-week trial.

Patterson was accused of deliberately tainting the lunch with death cap mushrooms, highly toxic fungi.

Her defense lawyers had argued the deaths were a “terrible accident” that occurred when Patterson tried to improve the taste of the meal.

The guilty verdict suggests the jury accepted the prosecution’s argument that she likely traveled to two sites in April and May 2023 , and deliberately picked the mushrooms used in the lunch.

Rogers accused Patterson of having two faces: one she showed the world that suggested she had a good relationship with the Pattersons.

In Facebook messages sent in December 2022 , Patterson expressed anger and frustration over Don and Gail 's reluctance to get involved in their son’s marriage breakdown.

“I’m sick of this shit I want nothing to do with them,” she wrote.
