The Australian mushroom murder trial could end up in the appeals court. 

Erin Patterson's been found guilty of murdering her estranged husband's parents and aunt, and attempting to kill his uncle with a beef wellington containing death cap mushrooms. 

Newstalk ZB's Lesley Yeomans is in Victoria, following developments. 

She told Heather du Plessis-Allan that Patterson's legal team now has 28 days to decide whether they'll appeal the verdict. 

Yeomans says we’ll have to wait for the next month or so to see if they’ll do so, but you would assume it’s likely.
