Mummy blogger Constance Hall gets slammed for doubting Erin Patterson was guilty of triple murder in bizarre post after trial

As a devoted follower, I’ve found myself in the midst of a discussion surrounding Mummy Blogger Constance Hall, who questioned the guilt of Erin Patterson regarding the accusations of mass murder.

On Monday, Patterson, aged 50, was convicted of three counts of murder and one count of attempted murder. This verdict came after she served her in-laws a meal containing death cap mushrooms-poisoned beef Wellington at her residence in Leongatha on July 29, 2023.

After the decision, Constance expressed her belief that the mother-of-three didn’t resemble a notorious villain from a mushroom poisoning incident.

In her Facebook post, she expressed surprise by saying, “She didn’t appear at all like the mastermind behind the mushroom poisoning incident; it just goes to show that appearances can be deceiving, doesn’t it?

Instead, she mentioned her belief that the open letter from Patterson concerning her supposedly private matters with Simon’s family wasn’t particularly harmful.

In her message, Constance expressed that her doubts originated from the texts she received. If those were the most problematic messages she had received, she added, she shuddered at the thought of what might be found in her own messages when they were scrutinized.

It appears from those messages that she didn’t have fond feelings towards her ex and his relatives, yet this kind of sentiment is quite typical, making it seem insufficient as a potential motive. Oh dear, I can’t help but sympathize with the children in this situation.

Constance’s followers flocked to the comments to slam the social media influencer. 

Can you genuinely believe it took two years to prepare the case, ten weeks in court, and seven days of deliberation just based on a text message about her ex-father and mother-in-law? Honestly, that seems hard to swallow.

Instead of only text messages, it involved more than that. She discarded her phone and dehydrator, claimed she’d given the leftovers to the children, and was trying to find out where to gather death cap mushrooms, as someone else stated.

‘What did you think a mushroom poisoning super villain would look like?’ a person questioned.

‘It came as a surprise to me that you’d make judgments based on appearances. There are plenty of examples where evil and good can hide in unexpected packages.’ Another person chimed in with this thought.

‘It’s chilling to realize that monsters aren’t always easy to spot; the potentially harmful individuals might be those who remain unseen.’

The original sentence is: “What do you mean it doesn’t look [like a villain]? How can anyone know anything by how someone looks?”

“You’re saying it doesn’t seem like they are a villain, but isn’t it true that we can’t really tell based on appearances alone?” or “Just because it doesn’t appear as though they are a villain, doesn’t it still hold true that a person’s appearance doesn’t always reveal their true nature?

Earlier, Patterson had denied guilt for the killings of Don and Gail Patterson, as well as Heather Wilkinson, Gail’s sister.

On July 29, 2023, individuals met their end tragically by eating deadly mushrooms known as death caps that were found in the beef Wellingtons during a lunch at Patterson’s residence in Leongatha, southeast Victoria.

Patterson faces a sentence of life in prison for the three murders and one attempted murder.

Instead of attending the verdicts, the relatives of the murder victims (who passed away at the hospital following a meal at Patterson’s house), along with the sole survivor of that lunch, Ian Wilkinson, were not present.

In the course of my investigation, I, as a lifestyle expert, uncovered a string of intimate messages exchanged by Patterson that hinted at deep, private conflicts with Simon’s family members. This revelation underscores the intricate complexities often hidden beneath the surface in people’s relationships.

In the messages, Patterson described her in-laws as a ‘lost cause’ and exclaimed ‘f**k them’.

In my perspective, shared on December 6, 2022, it’s evident that Simon’s reluctance to discuss personal matters might be rooted in the way his parents handle their own issues and interact.

As they explain, he hasn’t inquired about our situation, nor questioned why I repeatedly exclude him, or addressed the reason behind his son’s dislike. Instead, it seems they find it too awkward or uncomfortable to discuss such matters. Therefore, that appears to be his habitual response – avoiding these topics altogether. In simpler terms, he chooses not to talk about these issues.

Patterson stated that her father-in-law proposed resolving her issues with his son by ‘asking for divine intervention through prayer.’

Last night, Don called to share his idea that there might be a resolution to everything we’re facing. He suggested that Simon and I meet up, discuss our thoughts, and pray together. This is what she wrote.

Then he added, “It seems Simon suggested a resolution for our financial troubles if you were to drop this child support case?

Patterson asserted that she communicated to her in-laws that they should take responsibility for the choices their son was making regarding his grandchildren’s upbringing.

She expressed the wish that they prioritize caring for their grandchildren to the extent of being concerned with Simon’s actions, as she put it in her writing.

Don stated that they attempted to discuss the matter with him, yet he declined to disclose any details, thus they’ve chosen to remain neutral. However, they kindly request that we join them in a prayer session.

I’m really tired of this situation. I don’t want any connection with them anymore. I thought his parents would encourage him to make the right decisions, but it appears their desire to avoid discomfort and stay out of personal matters is taking precedence over that. I find their behavior incredibly frustrating.
