After a month long trial and three days of deliberation, the jury has returned a verdict in the Lauren Dickason trial. 

Dickason has been found guilty of murder for the deaths of her three children, six year old Liane and two year old twins Maya and Karla, in 2021.  

Dickason has always admitted to doing the crime, but pleaded not guilty due to the state of her mental health at the time.  

The trial has been closely followed by thousands of Kiwis over the last few weeks. 

The New Zealand Herald’s Anna Leask has been there covering the trial, and joins Damien to discuss what she witnessed over the last five weeks.
