"Prosecutor defends phone tower and iNaturalist evidence in Patterson appeal
Crown prosecutor Jeremy McWilliams is addressing Erin Patterson’s second ground of appeal, which challenges the admission of mobile phone tower data and death cap mushroom sightings published on the citizen science platform iNaturalist during her trial.
McWilliams argued that the evidence should be considered alongside other material presented to the jury, saying it helped establish that Patterson had an opportunity to obtain death cap mushrooms before the fatal lunch.
McWilliams also went through some of this evidence in detail as he argued it was used appropriately in Patterson’s trial."
