One month after the judgment of the murder trial of Erin Patterson made headlines across the world, the Adelaide University Media Association (AUMA) and the Adelaide Criminology Students Association (ACSA) are bringing you an event which will unpack just how this case grew to become the focal point of national conversation — from the prolific media coverage and public speculation, to the complex legal proceedings and the broader societal questions our fascination with true crime raised. ?With a panel of respected academics across law, criminology and media, we will delve into the intersections between the criminal justice system, journalism and public perception, exploring how narratives are constructed, contested, and consumed in high-profile criminal cases. ?⚖️

◾Dr Rick Sarre, Emeritus Professor at University of South Australia
◾Warren Bulmer, pHD Candidate at the University of Adelaide
◾Dr Victoria Fielding, Senior Lecturer at the University of Adelaide
