Erin Patterson appeal live updates: mushroom murderer to learn fate in retrial bid

Court of appeal is set to rule on the two appeals from 10am in the high profile Australian mushroom triple-murder case

• Erin Patterson to learn if she could face retrial or longer jail term

In August, the court heard Erin Patterson should have been given no possibility of ever being released from prison, or a non-parole period so lengthy that she was likely to die behind bars.

Her lawyers argued seven grounds for her appeal, including that allowing jurors to stay in the same hotel as police and the prosecution while they deliberated over their verdicts in the triple murder trial represented a “catastrophic” failure of the justice system.
