The judge in Erin Patterson’s triple-murder trial has made her case “virtually appeal-proof” and it will be difficult for her to successfully challenge her convictions, a legal expert says.

Patterson, 50, is facing a sentence of life in prison for three murders and one attempted murder of her estranged husband’s family, and is expected to return to court for a pre-sentence hearing later in 2025.

The mother-of-two will have 28 days from the date of her sentence to begin the process of lodging an appeal, if she chooses to pursue one.

The church thanked the community for its love and support during Patterson’s lengthy trial.

“As our Pastor Ian has said ‘Life can be hard, but God is faithful, and He is always with us’.”

The case has captivated the world, with dozens of podcasts, international media attention and members of the public lining up for weeks to catch a glimpse of the trial.

Patterson will go down as the most famous female murderer in Australia, according to senior criminology lecturer and researcher Brandy Cochrane.

The Victoria University senior lecturer said that historically women who kill tended to use “non-confrontational forms of murder” like poisoning, rather than shooting or stabbing.

“There’s a very long history of people being very interested in women who kill because it is such a rarity, as opposed to men’s violence that is kind of regularised in our society,” they said.

The jury’s guilty verdicts on Monday were delivered a week after being sent away to deliberate, as the trial entered its 11th week.

The Supreme Court released evidence from the trial within hours of the decision, including photos of beef Wellington leftovers as they were tested after police found them inside a bin at Patterson’s home.
