Two days of hearings have now wrapped up in Melbourne.
This was a double appeal.
Erin Patterson was trying to overturn her conviction, and the prosecution was appealing against the sentence.
Now much of Wednesday and today was spent going over Erin Patterson's uh case for appeal.
Seven grounds for appeal, including issues with evidence, the actions of the prosecution and the jury and her team going
Over in quite granular detail using previous cases to argue why they don't think that she had a fair trial last year.
Now the last two hours of today was the prosecution's turn to argue why they think the sentence handed out to her that's uh 33 years minimum before being allowed a chance for parole, they think that that is too lenient.
They
Argue that the sentencing judge made a mistake in saying that she would face tough conditions inside prison because of her notoriety and would be spending quite a considerable amount of time in the foreseeable future in solitary confinement.
Now the prosecution argues that's not necessarily the case.
Evidence didn't point to that.

And to activities such as crocheting.

So we heard from Ricky Nash earlier in the day.
