Accused lied to authorities and in witness box, prosecutor says; defence counsel begins addressing jury
This tells the last chance that Erin Patterson’s lawyer should talk to the jury, the defendant mushroom cook.
Some arguments that he plans to tell the jury can be “simple and obvious, or perhaps something that the jury members may have thought of before, but they are necessary.
Defense lawyer Colin Mandy said it was time for the jury members to be like a judge – using their heads, not their hearts. “The jury, when they think about the truth, the law of leaving aside their sympathy and prejudices and approaching the works rationally and intellectual.”

Mandy continued to close after a break at lunch.
The jury says that three people who died after lunch – Don and Gail Patterson and Heather Wilkinson are good people. So is Ian Wilkinson.
This is desperately a sad story. However, he adds that this is an experiment on the facts.
Don Patterson, Gail Patterson, Heather Wilkinson and Ian Wilkinson.
In this case, three people died, one person almost did. This was a terrible tragedy for people and their families.
There are two reasons why it is important to accept this. First, as a human being, as a member of this wider community, you will feel empathy for these witnesses, families and losses.
He’s a deep empathy because he desperately sadly.
Mandy said that as a human being, the jury members may react to an instinctive reaction to say that those who are responsible for the deaths of their guests may take into account.
Mandy, “We know that Patterson’s actions cause death and serious illnesses,” Mandy said. However, he said that a jury should put aside this natural reaction in making decisions.
Mandy said, “This case is not about who is generally responsible. This case is about a crime that should prove to the prosecution beyond reasonable suspicion,” Mandy said.
Mandy said it could face it to put it on one side, but as a judge, he said that what is in the heart of the person has nothing to do with thinking about the truth.
Lunch is important to the good of his guests, because he says to the jury, because “Why would anyone want to kill these people?”
Don and Gail have never been a kind against Patterson. They said their children had the only grandfather and grandfather.
Why does Erin Patterson want to kill them or cause serious harm?
“Due to a short tension period in December 2022, it certainly had nothing to do with Ian and Heather?”
Focusing on this point, the prosecutor Nanette Rogers, according to SC finished: in his opinion:
“And as Dr Rogers predicted it correctly, I will present you that there is no motive.”
Motive was important when thinking intentions.
