Sly of the Underworld has weighed in on the news that the Office of Public Prosecutions is now considering an appeal over the 33 year minimum sentence for mushroom killer Erin Patterson.

The Herald Sun has reported that the prosecutors were “underwhelmed” with the severity of the jail term, with Sly stating Patterson was given a “discount” by the judge due to her being in solitary confinement.

“If you get that as a discount, you’ve got the bizarre situation that the worse the crime, the bigger the discount,” Sly told Ross and Russ.

“I would be stunned if the defence was suggesting appealing sentence.

“The other problem with it is it creates a precedent, can you imagine a worse crime?”
