In this episode of The Trial Australia, Caroline is returning to join Wayne for a dive deep into the latest bombshell developments in the Erin Patterson case.

The Victorian DPP is now appealing Patterson's sentence, calling the 33 year non-parole period for three murders and one attempted murder "manifestly inadequate." Wayne and Caroline unpack the implications and examine why this sentence is now under serious legal scrutiny.

Plus, top Melbourne criminal lawyer George Balot joins the show to shed light on what might come next, both for the prosecution’s appeal and Patterson’s own expected appeal against her conviction.
