After sitting through the many weeks of Erin’s Patterson’s trial, the barristers grew familiar to us – and not just in the courthouse.
In the small town of Morwell, you’d spot them in the local cafes and restaurants too, and as they walked in and out of court steadfastly ignoring the barrage of cameras.
But in this appeal, different figures are representing the two sides.
Patterson is using the same law firm, but they have appointed Richard Edney and Veronika Dragoto lead her case. Her barrister from the trial, Colin Mandy, is not involved here.
And while it was the Dr Nanette Rodgers lead the prosecution last year, today Victoria’s Director of Public Prosecutions Brendan Kissane KC and prosecutor Jeremy McWilliams will appear for the crown.
