The judge in the Mushroom Murder Trial has announced at least one more week before the jury can begin deliberations, with final jury instructions starting Monday.

Erin Patterson, age 50, is pleading not guilty to murdering three relatives and attempting to murder a fourth by serving them beef wellington containing death cap mushrooms.

• Crown Prosecutor Nanette Rogers argued Ms Patterson deliberately obtained death cap mushrooms and incorporated them into the meal
• Prosecution claimed the mother-of-two told "lies upon lies" after the lunch as part of a cover-up
• Defence barrister Colin Mandy criticized the prosecution for "cherry-picking" evidence
• He emphasised Ms Patterson's lack of motive, questioning why she would harm her only support network
• The 50-year-old voluntarily testified, subjecting herself to cross-examination and international public scrutiny
• Mr. Mandy will continue his closing address today.
