Who’s winning the mushroom murder TV ratings war this week?
This week, Australian television networks have been stuffing their schedules with specials dissecting the Erin Patterson mushroom murder trial — and despite some being a little underdone, millions are tuning in.
On Monday afternoon, Patterson was found guilty of three counts of murder, and one count of attempted murder. The free-to-air channels certainly had it covered; the interested viewer could channel hop from the 2.15pm verdict right through to Ursula Heger wrapping 10 Late News at 11pm, and be swamped in mushroom murder content the whole day.
