The Australian woman accused of murdering three people with poisonous mushrooms has been found guilty on all charges.
The sentencing for triple murderer Erin Patterson will be broadcast live in a first for the Victorian Supreme Court.
A television camera will be inside the courtroom on Monday when Justice Christopher Beale sentences Patterson for the murders of her parents-in-law Don and Gail Patterson and Gail’s sister Heather Wilkinson.
It is usually illegal for the media and public to take photos or record video or audio of court proceedings.
However, the Supreme Court often livestreams trials from its own cameras.
The broadcast will only show Justice Beale, not Patterson or anyone else in the courtroom.
She served them all beef Wellington laced with poisonous mushrooms.
The 10-week trial made headlines across the world and the case has led to books, podcasts and documentaries.
Patterson has 28 days to lodge an appeal against her sentence or conviction, which expires at midnight on October 6.
After that date, the mother of two would need to file an extension of time application.
