The jury in Erin Patterson's mushroom murder trial has begun deliberations after a 10-week trial at Latrobe Valley Law Courts. Facing three murder charges and one attempted murder charge from a 2023 lunch at her Leongatha home, Patterson's fate now rests with a sequestered jury considering whether she deliberately intended to kill or harm her guests.
• Jury officially began deliberations at 1pm yesterday after Justice Beale's comprehensive instructions
• Prosecution doesn't need to prove motive for a guilty verdict, but must establish intent
• Jury being sequestered during deliberations with restricted outside contact
• Patterson's Leongatha property recently covered with black plastic sheeting by supporters
• Verdict timeline remains unknown—could come any moment or take weeks
