Erin Patterson mushroom murder trial LIVE updates: World waits on verdict as jury enters seventh day of deliberations
Victoria Supreme Court Justice Christopher Beale concluded his address to the jury - or 'charge' - last Monday afternoon before the jury retired to deliberate on the verdict.
Two jurors were balloted out, leaving 12 to decide Patterson's fate.
The five women and seven men will resume their deliberations at 10.30am, meaning there is a possibility today of a verdict in the murder trial which has garnered worldwide attention.
Patterson, 50, is accused of murdering her in-laws, Don and Gail Patterson, and Gail's sister, Heather Wilkinson, after allegedly serving them a beef Wellington lunch made with death cap mushrooms.
Patterson is also accused of attempting to murder Heather's husband, pastor Ian Wilkinson, who survived the lunch after spending several weeks in an intensive care unit.
The court heard Patterson's estranged husband, Simon (pictured), was also invited to the gathering at her home in Leongatha, in Victoria's Gippsland region, but didn't attend.
Witnesses told the jury that Patterson ate her serving from a smaller, differently-coloured plate to those of her guests, who ate the meal on four grey plates.
Patterson told authorities she bought dried mushrooms from an unnamed Asian store in the Monash area of Melbourne, but health inspectors could find no evidence of this.

How one Australian state has responded to a synagogue arson attack
Victoria, Australia, is establishing an anti-hate task force, comprising the premier, police minister, and Melbourne mayor, to address violent protests and a rise in antisemitism. The formation of the task force follows an arson attack on a synagogue in East Melbourne, where 20 worshippers inside escaped unharmed. Police have arrested and charged a 34-year-old man in connection with the synagogue fire and are investigating whether the incident was an act of terrorism. The Victorian government is drafting new legislation to ban face masks, the display of terror symbols, and devices used by protesters to attach themselves to objects. Antisemitic incidents across Australia have escalated since October 2023, prompting the country to pass new anti-hate crime laws in February, including mandatory jail sentences for offences like giving a Nazi salute.

Erin Patterson's hospital visit – and what the beef wellingtons really looked like: mushroom murder exhibits revealed
For more than two months, Erin Patterson's triple-murder trial gripped people around the world. But while millions were glued to news updates, only a handful of people had access to the full case. Jurors heard from more than 50 witnesses and were introduced to more than 120 pieces of evidence by the prosecution and defence throughout the lengthy proceedings. On Monday, the Victorian supreme court jury convicted Patterson of murdering her estranged husband's parents, Don and Gail Patterson, and his aunt, Heather Wilkinson. The 12-person jury also found Patterson guilty of attempting to murder Heather's husband, Ian Wilkinson, who survived the lunch after spending weeks in hospital. Now, the exhibits have been made public, showing a mountain of private text messages, phone records, screenshots, CCTV video and medical documents that helped to convict Patterson. Here are some of the major pieces of evidence that paint a picture of how the tragedy unfolded. The remains of the fatal beef wellington dish were shown to jurors in 'Exhibit 26' and 'Exhibit 15'. They included samples sent to experts for examination, and the leftovers recovered from Patterson's bin after her guests fell ill. One image was taken from a screenshot taken by Dr Laura Muldoon, who assessed Patterson in the Monash hospital emergency department. The picture of the leftovers was sent to Muldoon by Dr Veronica Foote, the first on-call doctor at Leongatha hospital. An undated photo released by the Victorian supreme court shows the dining table where Patterson's lunch guests would have sat to eat the beef wellington meal on 29 July 2023. There was some disagreement over how the meal was served, with surviving lunch guest, Ian Wilkinson, testifying that Patterson had eaten on a different coloured plate – a claim she denied. Wilkinson also told the jury about the atmosphere of the lunch, including Patterson's reluctance to let guests help in the kitchen and her revelation about having cancer, which later proved to be false. Patterson's food dehydrator became a key piece of evidence for the prosecution to point to fabrications she had made to the police immediately after the fatal lunch. Initially, she denied owning a dehydrator, which she was later found to have dumped at the local tip on 2 August. The dehydrator was found to contain traces of poisonous mushrooms. Exhibit 21 shows images of Patterson in her vehicle at Koonwarra transfer station. CCTV footage was shown to the jury of Patterson at Monash hospital on the morning of 31 July, presenting to medical staff. She appeared calm, in white pants, a red jumper and a mask. Hours later, she would discharge herself. The jury also saw footage of Dr Foote photographing leftovers of the meal, including mushrooms and their encased pastry, in recycled Woolworth bags while wearing hospital gloves.

Dr Christopher Webster, who was working at the Leongatha hospital two days after Patterson served beef wellington to her in-laws for lunch, told the court that Don and Gail Patterson had already been transferred to intensive care, and the Wilkinsons were about to be transferred to a larger hospital, when Patterson arrived at the hospital about 8.05am on 31 July 2023. Soon after, she discharged herself against medical advice once Webster told her that she would need to start undergoing treatment, saying she had not been prepared to be admitted. Patterson's denial to police that she had ever foraged mushrooms was another lie the prosecution pointed to in order to emphasise her unreliability with the truth. The defence submitted images of mushroom foraging photos taken on Patterson's devices to try to established she had an innocent interest in searching for wild fungi stemming back to 2020. One photo shown to the court displayed foraged mushrooms dehydrating on scales in Patterson's home. Private messages shared between Patterson and her estranged husband, Simon Patterson, painted a strained picture of their relationship. Simon's explanation for refusing to attend the fatal lunch was displayed in Exhibit 2, when he revealed he felt 'too uncomfortable' about attending the meal but was happy to talk about his ex's 'health and implications of that' another time. The evidence also showed warm messages between Patterson and her lunch guests and former parents-in-law, Gail and Don Patterson. They appeared sympathetic about her back problems, continually offering 'thoughts and prayers' and shared concerns about Covid-19 cases rising in their community.
