The Crown's key clinical witness in the Lauren Dickason murder trial has conceded Dickason could have been suffering from postpartum depression when she killed her three children.
This is despite his view that she does not have grounds for an infanticide defence, nor was she insane at the time of the killings.
Dickason has pleaded not guilty to murdering her daughters Karla, Maya and Liane in 2021.
A tense cross-examination of the prosecution's psychiatric expert finished yesterday. Adam Burns was in the High Court in Christchurch.
