I find it difficult to believe that someone (Erin) who lied so frequently wants us to believe that all the other witnesses were either lying or had faulty memories.
I find it difficult to believe that someone (Erin) who can remember what day of the week a particular date fell on, could not remember which grocery store she (supposedly) purchased mushrooms from.
I find it difficult to believe that someone (Erin), who told one of the witnesses that she might be changing her phone number due to being security conscious, would give the police a phone which was not secured by a PIN.
I find a person who said she wanted to see if the police were 'silly enough' to have left the seized Phone connected to the internet, and then proceeded to perform a remote factory reset of such phone, to be both arrogant and brazen.
Furthermore, I find the fact that she searched for deathcap mushrooms online and then, moments later, proceeded to order a nourishing and healthy meal for herself and her children, quite creepy.
And the judge...I've been a juror on two, admittedly much shorter trials, but in neither case did the judge go through the particular pieces of evidence piece by piece, saying why the jury should discount them. To my eye, it's almost as if he has become part of the defense team. And five days of 'giving instructions' - is this a Guinness World Record?
As a common citizen, I find the judge's behaviour rather disturbing.
