37 | "Not on trial for being a liar" - defence closing continues
About this episode
Erin Patterson's defence team has told the jury not to confuse Erin Patterson's lies with the question of whether she is guilty of murder.
In the second day of Colin Mandy SC's closing address, he offered explanations for why Erin started to feel sick earlier than her lunch guests, and warned the jury not to use "hindsight reasoning" against Erin.
