Shortly before being charged with murdering her partner, a woman replied to the police officer reading her rights by saying: 'Yeah sweet. I just shot him. I didn't know it was him'.
Amy Christine Smith is on trial in the High Court at Auckland accused of murdering Danny Bruce Taylor in April, 2019.
Smith was with Taylor on his South Head farm that night, in a converted barn that housed his bedroom on a mezzanine level and a substantial amount of cannabis.
Sometime after 1am Smith sensed an intruder on the property and fired at the person without seeing who it was, the court has heard previously.
However, there was no intruder. She had shot Taylor on his own property.
