Lawyers presented opposing narratives in Patterson's triple-murder trial

In the Erin Patterson triple-murder trial, the prosecution and defense presented conflicting narratives to the jury, each using evidence to support their contrasting views. The prosecution argued Patterson deliberately poisoned her relatives with death cap mushrooms in a beef Wellington meal, while the defense claimed the deaths were a tragic accident. Evidence included recipe alterations and Patterson's actions after the lunch. The jury must now decide if the prosecution proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Patterson intentionally caused the deaths, as the judge prepares to deliver final instructions next week.
