Apelación australiana cuestiona alojamiento compartido de jurado

Apelación australiana cuestiona alojamiento compartido de jurado

Los abogados de Erin Patterson afirmaron que la coincidencia de alojamiento entre jurados y funcionarios judiciales en un hotel, provocada por la escasez regional, pudo comprometer sus condenas por homicidio, y la fiscalía sostuvo que el jurado fue vigilado de cerca mientras solicitaba una cadena perpetua sin posibilidad de libertad condicional. La apelación se llevó a cabo ante el Tribunal de Apelaciones de Melbourne, donde Patterson buscó anular sus condenas por envenenar a tres familiares con setas mortales.

Anteriormente, los fiscales de la Corona habían argumentado que el período de 33 años sin libertad condicional era insuficiente y pidieron una pena más larga. El caso llamó la atención por el método inusual de envenenamiento y el posterior debate sobre la adecuación de la sentencia.
