Kallista Mutten was questioned about her methamphetamine use during the six-week trial into the death of the nine-year-old in early 2022.
Kallista Mutten broke down in tears after being accused by a prosecutor of fatally shooting her nine-year-old daughter Charlise.
Justin Laurens Stein has pleaded not guilty to murdering the girl but his lawyer Caroyln Davenport SC previously told the jury he does not deny attempting to dump the body in January 2022. The court has heard that on the day it's alleged Charlise was killed, the pair travelled to Sydney to use the drug ice in Centennial Park.
The day before the alleged murder on January 11, the three were staying at a caravan park in Lower Portland before Mr Stein took the nine-year-old back to his family's Mt Wilson property, at the girl's request."Unfortunately, yes," Ms Mutten replied. "In my heart I really did believe that Justin had gone and looked for her," Ms Mutten later told the court.
