The jury is continuing to deliberate in the trial of triple murder accused Lauren Dickason
15 August 2023
They have been considering their verdict for nine-and-a-half hours so far, and will continue today from 10am.
Dickason doesn't deny killing her three daughters in Timaru in 2021 -- but is mounting a defence of infanticide and insanity.
If found guilty of murder she faces life in prison - if the jury reaches a verdict of infanticide she could be jailed for a maximum of three years.
If her defence of insanity is accepted Justice Cameron Mander will have to consider making an order detaining her as a special patient at a psychiatric unit.
