NZ Herald Justice reporter: Lots of evidence for jury to consider as they deliberate Dickason verdict

A reminder the trial of triple murder-accused Lauren Dickason case is decided by a jury, not the experts.

She doesn’t deny killing her three daughters in Timaru in 2021, but is mounting a defence of infanticide and insanity.

The jury retired for deliberations just before 2pm - returning to again watch the police interviews with the accused, and her husband.

The Herald's Anna Leask says Justice Cameron Mander told them to weigh up the evidence they've heard.

"Don't get bogged down on what these leading experts and police and all sorts have told them- take the evidence into account that they think is right and go from there."
