The jurors have reached a verdict in the murder trial of Erin Patterson. We should hear the verdict soon.

Just a reminder: The jury heard from more than 50 prosecution witnesses throughout the trial before Patterson entered the witness box for eight days.

The prosecution and defence then spent a week delivering their closing arguments, before Justice Christopher Beale provided his directions to the jury.

He said the jurors needed to consider whether the prosecution had proved beyond reasonable doubt Erin Patterson deliberately served death caps with the intention to kill her guests.

Justice Beale reminded the jurors if they held any doubts about Patterson’s guilt, they must acquit her.

Patterson claims it was all an accident and has pleaded not guilty to three counts of murder and one charge of attempted murder.

The jury was sequestered during the deliberations and will have to remain together until unanimous verdicts are reached on all charges.

Justice Beale reiterated that every juror must agree on the verdict, although it did not matter how each person reached their conclusion.
