11 August 2023
She admits killing her daughters in Timaru in 2021, but is mounting a defence of insanity and infanticide
Today the jury will hear a full day of final closing addresses from the Crown and defence lawyers.
On Monday, they'll be sent to begin deliberations after Justice Cameron Mander sums up the trial.
Five experts have given evidence on Dickason's mental state - two supporting the Crown case of murder, and three who believe she was insane at the time of the alleged offending.
