Death cap mushroom killer Erin Patterson's bid to keep pre-trial evidence a secret until her appeal has failed after a judge found open justice is "fundamental". The ruling means that evidence, including information about the alleged attempted poisonings of her husband, Simon Patterson, can now be reported. Patterson, 50, wore a black top and glasses as she faced Melbourne's Supreme Court on Friday morning by video link from prison for a brief hearing. Her defence team had argued pre-trial evidence should not be released to media due to "unprecedented" reporting, with several podcasts, documentaries and a mini-series in development.
Defence barrister Colin Mandy SC claimed releasing the evidence could leave an indelible impression on a jury if she successfully appealed and faced a retrial.
However, media argued against the claim, saying it was "speculative" she would face another trial and that jurors would be directed not to engage with the evidence. |Get more breaking news at 9News.com.au
