Verdict looms for schoolgirl Charlise Mutten's alleged murderer
==========
A jury has begun deliberations over the alleged murder of Charlise Mutten after being told the issue in the case is not how the schoolgirl died but who pulled the trigger. Charlise's body was found near the Colo River, northwest of Sydney, on January 18, 2022 with gunshot wounds to her face and lower back. Justin Stein, 33, has pleaded not guilty to murdering Charlise, claiming it was the girl's mother, Kallista Mutten, who shot the nine-year-old. Stein admitted dumping Charlise's body, but he said Mutten shot her daughter and placed her body in a barrel on the back of his ute without his knowledge. The judge told jurors that if they found there was a reasonable possibility that Mutten shot her own daughter, they must find Stein not guilty. Stein appeared as the defense's only witness in the trial, spending two days going over his version of events at the start of the week.
