About this listen
We've made it to the final day of Erin Patterson's triple murder and attempted murder trial, where the defence barrister Colin Mandy SC delivered his closing arguments challenging the prosecution's case. The jury will soon commence deliberations after Justice Christopher Beale gives his final directions on Tuesday.
• The Crown described prosecution arguments as "convoluted and absurd"
• Defence suggested Ms Patterson only began fabricating parts of her account after her estranged husband allegedly accused her of poisoning his parents
• Medical evidence showed Ms Patterson herself became sick from the beef Wellington with symptoms that "could have been in no way faked"
• Defence argued Ms Patterson's testimony remained coherent and consistent throughout extensive cross-examination
• Jury was reminded they must acquit if they find it reasonably possible the poisoning was an accident
