Erin Patterson mushroom murder trial LIVE updates: Defence gives closing arguments as murder trial enters final days
Dr Rogers told the jury yesterday it was 'in the best possible position' to determine the issues in this case which they should regard as a 'jigsaw puzzle'.
'And as the pieces were put together, the picture starts to become clear,' he said.
Dr Rogers (pictured) said the evidence proved beyond reasonable doubt Patterson was guilty.
'You must not feel sorry for the accused in the position she's facing these criminal charges,' she said.
'You might not understand it.'
Dr Rogers argued there was no reasonable alternative than that Patterson deliberately killed her lunch guests.
'She's told lies upon lies because she knew the truth would implicate her,' she said.
Dr Rogers said Patterson's 'fifth deception' was to the jury itself.
The prosecutor said Patterson constructed a narrative in the witness box.
Dr Rogers also pointed to the fact that she claimed even her own children were wrong and listed all the key elements she claimed pointed to Patterson's guilt.
She said the jury should be satisfied Patterson intended to kill each of her lunch guests.
