Erin Patterson Mushroom Murder Trial Live Updates: Jury Conservation for a fifth day while the world is waiting for the verdict

Justice Beale described the ‘ultimate issue’ that the jury should consider, namely whether Patterterson deliberately recorded the death Chairs in her lunch.

“Now the ultimate issues or the accused are intentionally included the death Chairs in the beef Wellingtons, and whether she had the state of mind that was needed for the alleged violations when she served the beef Wellington’s,” Justice Beale said.

‘There are a number of problems related to those ultimate problems, and they include whether the accused had good reasons not to kill her lunch guests.

‘Whether she forced for edible mushrooms, why she cooked individual beef Wellingtons, why the children were not at lunch, or she had another plate to a guest, whether she assigned her own plate.

“Whether she was taxing behavior after lunch.”

On Monday, pastor Ian Wilkinson, with his arms crossed, looked bleak when the jury was instructed about how it should deal with the indictment in connection with his attempted murder.

“Turning to the elements of attempted murder, as you know … to prove that the accused has committed the crime of attempted murder in connection with Ian Wilkinson, the prosecution must prove the following four elements without reasonable doubt,” Justice Beale said.

“One, that the accused consciously, voluntarily and deliberately served Ian Wilkinson a poisoned meal, that is the alleged behavior.

‘Two, the alleged behavior of the suspect was more than just preparing for the murder of Ian Wilkinson, and immediately and not remotely connected to the killing of Ian Wilkinson.

“Three, at the time of the alleged behavior, the accused plan to kill Ian Wilkinson, and four, the alleged behavior of the suspect had no legal justification or excuse.”

The jury in the ‘Mushroom Case’ test of ER in Patterterson started his fifth consecutive day of deliberations.

Victoria Supreme Court Justice Christopher Beale concluded his speech to the jury – or ‘indictment’ – on Monday afternoon before the jury withdrew to consider the judgment.

Two jury members were voted and left 12 to decide the fate of Patterson.

The five women and seven men will resume their deliberations at 10.30 am, which means that there is a possibility that a judgment in the murder process that has received worldwide attention could come today.

If they do not reach a judgment on Friday, the jury can continue its deliberations until Saturday. However, they have discretion about how long they are on that day.

Patterterson, 50, is accused of killing her in -laws, Don and Gail Patterson, and Gail’s sister, Heather Wilkinson, after she reported a lunch with beef Wellington with Death Cap Champignons.

Patterson is also accused of trying to kill Heather’s husband, pastor Ian Wilkinson, who survived lunch after having spent a few weeks in an intensive care department.

The court heard that the alienated husband of Patterson, Simon (photo), was also invited to the meeting in her house in Leongatha, in the Gippland region in Victoria, but was not present.

Witnesses told the jury that Patterterson ate her from a smaller, different colored plate to those of her guests, who ate four gray plates.

Patterson told the authorities that they bought dried mushrooms from an unnamed Asian store in the Melbourne Monash environment, but health inspectors could not find any proof of this.
