7NEWS live rolling coverage > Jury retires in mushroom trial – Will Erin Patterson walk free?
As the jury retires to consider its verdict in the mushroom trial that has gripped the nation, 7NEWS will bring Australians live rolling coverage of the outcome – breaking into programming across Seven and 7plus with a live blog running and 7NEWS.com.au, the moment a decision is reached.
At the centre of the case is Erin Patterson, accused of murdering three guests by serving them beef wellington laced with death cap mushrooms at a lunch in Leongatha, in July 2023.
7NEWS has unrivalled resources on the ground in Morwell, with anchor Mike Amor to lead Seven’s special live coverage from the courthouse. He’ll be joined by 7NEWS Court Reporter Estelle Griepink, Crime Reporter Cassie Zervos, and Chief Reporter Chris Reason – who have been closely covering the trial for over nine weeks.
Griepink said:
“This case has captured the nation’s attention unlike any other, so sitting inside that courtroom day after day, you could feel the weight of every word, every glance – it’s been utterly gripping.
“7NEWS will be live in Morwell the moment the verdict is handed down, with the most comprehensive and immediate coverage in the country.”
A special edition of 7NEWS live at 6.00pm will be broadcast on Seven and 7plus in each state, featuring the very latest on the verdict as well as all the day’s other news from Australia and abroad.
Michael Usher will present a 7NEWS Mushroom Trial Special later that night, featuring in-depth analysis, commentary and all the fallout from the case that has captured international attention.
And be watching Sunrise the following morning, for special extended coverage of the very latest in the case.
