The Victorian supreme court is scheduled to deliver its decision regarding two high-profile appeals tied to the Australian mushroom triple-murder case. Proceedings are set to begin from 10am, determining whether Erin Patterson will face a retrial or potentially a longer jail term.
Reporters and a small group of representatives from the victims’ families have gathered outside the courtroom ahead of the ruling. The upcoming decisions follow appeal hearings that took place in August, during which legal arguments weighed the severity of the offending against the legal challenges raised by the defense and prosecution.
As the court prepares to announce its findings, updates from the courtroom will track the official outcome of the appeal bids.
