The jury begins arguments in the judgment of mushrooms

An Australian woman, accused of cooking a fatal fungal lunch for their relatives, retired to decide the fate of the jury in the high-profile murder test.

50-year-old Erin Patterson, one of the four charges – one of the charges and attempts of killing – in July 2023, accused his sin on the lunch of the beef well in the regional Victoria house.

The prosecutor’s office claimed that MS Patterson deliberately derived the mushrooms of poisonous deaths, and throw evidence from lying to the police.

However, the defense included MS Patterson accidentally, entered the potted fungi in the bowl and lied to him because he was only after his loved ones.

MS Patterson’s father-in-law, Don and Gail Patterson, Both 70, Gailin Sister Heather Wilkinson, 66, Leongatha’s lunch and died after lunch.

Heather’s husband, Local Pastor Ian Wilkinson, was restored in a community in a week after weeks. Simon Patterson, who is a husband of the accused, invited his husband to dinner, but the day before.

Justice on Monday, Christofher Beale, 14-member jury, prosecutors and the only defensive witness, gave the latest instructions by summing the evidence of Ms. Patterson.

After almost two months and more than 50 witnesses, the final 12 jury was decided on a voting before retiring for disputes.

In his closing arguments, the prosecutor said Nanetten Rogers SC said that MS Patterson’s “so much lied”.

Prosecutor’s office allegedly lied to his relatives about a cancer diagnosis to convince the deadly lunch, he poisoned, and then falsified a disease to cover his traces.

After Ms. Patterson, the police and medical workers used to bait for wild mushrooms, as well as a food thirsty used to prepare a dish, he claimed that he claimed that his sin.

“He lied after he lied, because he knew the truth,” said Nanette Rogers.

“When he knows it hides, he came with a careful narrative in accordance with the evidence – almost.

He did not have a “special motive” for the alleged crime, Dr. Rogers informed the court, but the jury should still be “no difficulty” in rejecting the debate “It was a terrible accident.”

However, the defense claimed that the lack of motive was the key. There was no reason to kill MS Patterson’s guests.

During the evidence of MS Patterson, he said he was very close to the jury and never intends to hurt him.

As he prepared his dinner, Ms. Patterson added fungus from a bowl that he could include both colleagues and constant fungi in the store.

He also suffered from Bulimia for many years and said he was thrown after the Net Wellington dinner – the defense team explained something that others were not sick.

Lying about the presence of cancer, he said that he was ashamed of his plans to make a drawing operation, and he said that he did not tell the truth about the mushroom feed because he was afraid of making his relatives sick.

“He is not in court for a liar, but the defense lawyer Colin Mandy SC,” This is not a court of spiritual judgment. “

The prosecutor’s office accused of trying to call each other “puzzle pieces”, “Stretch the interpretations” to ignore alternative explanations because they do not fit the narrative with the narrative. “

In the latest instructions, the Bale of Justice, the members of the jury said that “the judges of facts in this situation.”

He said that MS Patterson should not be convicted of just to lie, “such as any reasons for a person who causes a person to be guilty.”

He added that Patterson and Wilkinson’s families “feel great sympathy,” the jury should not allow themselves as a result of emotions.

The jury has now been seized, that is, they will be controlled in places where they are not in contact with the foreign world until they decide.
