1
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: From The Australian. Here's what's on the front. I'm Claire Harvey.

2
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:13,039
Speaker 1: It's Thursday, June twelfth, twenty twenty five. China and the

3
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 1: United States have hammered out a trade deal and both

4
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,440
Speaker 1: sides are claiming a win. But Chinese factories are closing

5
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: and its exports to the US have tumbled. The Australians

6
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,799
Speaker 1: correspondent Will Glasgow is reporting today on the truth behind

7
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: both sides spin on this fragile truce.

8
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 2: The Crown alleges Aaron Patterson.

9
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 1: Lied to more than a dozen people, including police, child

10
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: protection workers, doctors and nurses, about feeding leftovers from a

11
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: fatal mushroom lunch to her children. Patterson, who's fighting a

12
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: triple murder charge, says that's not true, and she also

13
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: says her kids and doctors are wrong about their recollections

14
00:00:54,920 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 1: of that fatal day. That's today's story. Crown Prosecutor Nanette

15
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: Rogers sc is digging into every moment of the days

16
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: after Aaron Patterson's mushroom lunch in July twenty twenty three,

17
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: which left three elderly relatives dead and one seriously ill.

18
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: Patterson is pleaded not guilty to three counts of murder

19
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: and one of attempted murder. On Wednesday in the Victorian

20
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: Supreme Court, Rogers spent hours putting to Patterson what she

21
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: allegedly told doctors, nurses, police and her children.

22
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 2: At the time.

23
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: We've used voice actors to bring you the words spoken

24
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:47,639
Speaker 1: in court by Nanette Rogers and Aaron Patterson again and again.

25
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: Patterson says the other witnesses are wrong in their recollections

26
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: of what she said to them at the time, like

27
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: Chris Webster, the doctor on duty at leand Gatha Hospital.

28
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 3: Rus Webster's evidence was that when you first presented to

29
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 3: lean Gatha Hospital, he asked you where you got the mushrooms,

30
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 3: and his evidence was that you said Woolworths.

31
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 4: I agree that I said Woolworths, but I disagree what

32
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 4: the question was. That wasn't the question I remember him asking.

33
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 4: He's mistaken the content of his question.

34
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: Pattison says Webster actually asked where did you get the ingredients.

35
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: Doctor Veronica Foot gave evidence that two and a half

36
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: hours later, Patterson told her she'd bought some of the

37
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: mushrooms from Safeway in Land Gaffer and some dried mushrooms

38
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,239
Speaker 1: from a Chinese grocer in Melbourne months earlier, in April.

39
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 3: I suggest you had some time to think about your

40
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 3: story in that intervening period. Correct or incorrect?

41
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 4: Incorrect?

42
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 3: You added a detail to this account concerning the mushrooms

43
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 3: from the Chinese grocer, I suggest incorrect.

44
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: Next, Patterson told doctor Laura Muldoon she had used dried

45
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: dehydrated mushrooms. Possibly Sheitaki or Porcini and bought them at

46
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: a Chinese grocery store in Oakley or Glen Waverley.

47
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 4: Possibly I did tell her those things.

48
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 3: I suggest it was a lie that you told her

49
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 3: that you had used dried dehydrated mushrooms bought at a

50
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 3: Chinese grocery store in Oakley or Glen Waverley.

51
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 4: Incorrect.

52
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: Muldoon told the jury Patterson said she came to hospital

53
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: because she thought she had food poisoning.

54
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 4: I didn't say that until I got to Lean Gatha.

55
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 4: I thought I had gastro.

56
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: A Health Department official Sally Anne Atkinson then began asking

57
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: Patterson questions about the ingredients for the lunch she has

58
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: told the jury. Patterson told her she'd bought the mushrooms

59
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: in one of three suburbs of Melbourne. Patterson says Atkinson

60
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: got the details wrong.

61
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 4: I didn't say Mount Waverley, I said Glen Waverley.

62
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: She said Atkinson was wrong to claim that Patterson described

63
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: the mushrooms as smelling funny.

64
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 4: No, I don't think I said smelled funny. My memory

65
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 4: has always just been that it was a very strong

66
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 4: or pungent smell. She's wrong about that word.

67
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: Patterson agreed she didn't return sally on Atkinson's call on

68
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: August two or answer a text message she sent. She

69
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: said she told I Canson the names of streets in

70
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: the Melbourne area where she might have bought the mushrooms.

71
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: Bart said she had no memory of the actual purchase

72
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: and no bank record of the transaction. On August five,

73
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: when being interviewed by police, Patterson told them she had

74
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: been very very helpful to the Department of Health as

75
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: they tried to investigate the source of the poisoning.

76
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 3: I suggest you weren't quote very very helpful to the

77
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 3: department at all.

78
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 4: I was trying to be that was untrue.

79
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,679
Speaker 3: In fact, you sent them on a wild goose chase

80
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 3: trying to locate this Asian grocer correct or incorrect?

81
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 4: Incorrect?

82
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 3: And I suggest that the reason that you didn't answer

83
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 3: some of those texts from her was because you did

84
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 3: not want to be pressed for details about the Asian

85
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 3: grocery store, because that story was not true. It was

86
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 3: a lie that you used dried mushrooms from an Asian

87
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 3: grocer correct or incorrect.

88
00:04:59,279 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 4: Incorrect.

89
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 3: You lied about the source of the death cap mushrooms

90
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 3: because you knew you were guilty of having deliberately poisoned

91
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 3: your four lunch guests.

92
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 4: Incorrect.

93
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: And what was Patterson telling health professionals about her children.

94
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: Patterson has said she served the children leftover beef Wellington

95
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: with the mushrooms and pastry scraped off the I feel

96
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 1: at stake on the Sunday night. In a police interview,

97
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: Patterson's son said, Mum said it was leftovers. Police asked

98
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,119
Speaker 1: Patterson's daughter how she knew that their Sunday night dinner

99
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: was leftovers from the lunch. She told police Mum told me,

100
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: But Patterson disagreed that she told the kids these were

101
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: leftovers from the lunch.

102
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 4: I only remember telling the kids on the Sunday that

103
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 4: it was leftovers. I don't remember telling them anything about

104
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 4: them being lunch leftovers.

105
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 3: You told various people at Liam gath the hospital that

106
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 3: you'd fed leftovers of the Beef Wellington with mushrooms and

107
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:52,799
Speaker 3: pastries scraped off to your children.

108
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 4: I did.

109
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 2: A nurse Kylie Ashton gave evidence.

110
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: Aaron Patterson said on her first visit to the hospital

111
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 1: on the Monday morning that the children had eaten leftovers

112
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: from the Beef Wellington.

113
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 2: Patison denied this.

114
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 4: There were no conversations about the children eating leftovers in

115
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 4: that first presentation.

116
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 2: Patterson agreed.

117
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: She told another nurse the children had no symptoms and

118
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: hadn't eaten any mushrooms, and she told doctor Chris Webster

119
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 1: that she didn't want the children to be stressed or

120
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: panicked by getting pulled out of school.

121
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 3: I want to suggest that surely the last thing you

122
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 3: would have been thinking about, if you thought genuinely that

123
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 3: your children had potentially eaten a fatal poison, that you'd

124
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 3: be worrying about whether they'd be panicked or stressed about

125
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 3: being pulled out of school.

126
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 4: I didn't think they'd eaten a fatal poison because it

127
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 4: was made clear to me that the issue was mushrooms

128
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 4: and they had not eaten the mushrooms.

129
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 3: I suggest that you lied to each of these medical

130
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 3: personnel about your children eating leftovers of the beef Wellington.

131
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 3: Agree or disagree? Disagree. I suggest that you were reluctant

132
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 3: to have the children medically assessed. Agree or disagree.

133
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 4: Initially I was, but before not for too long. I

134
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 4: agreed they needed to come in, and I arranged for that.

135
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 3: I suggest that you were initially reluctant because you knew

136
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 3: they had not eaten leftover beef Wellington from the lunch.

137
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 4: Incorrect.

138
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 3: You knew that their lives were not at risk. Correct

139
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 3: or incorrect?

140
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 4: Incorrect?

141
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: The court's already heard that Webster said to Patterson the

142
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: children needed to come in, that they could be scared

143
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: and dead or alive.

144
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 3: You loved your children, correct, I still love them. When

145
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 3: Dr Webster told you at ten am that the children

146
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 3: could die, you must have realized it was really necessary

147
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 3: to get them to the hospital.

148
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 4: I suggest I didn't think that it was a real

149
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 4: risk at that time.

150
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,679
Speaker 3: And you did not take immediate steps to make that happen. Correct.

151
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 4: That's correct.

152
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 3: In fact, you did not call Simon Patterson until more

153
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 3: than an hour later. Correct.

154
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 4: I don't know how long it was.

155
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: Child Protection work at Katrina Crips spoke to Patterson on

156
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: August one.

157
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 3: You told her that when you served the meal, you

158
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 3: dished up all of the plates and put tu aside

159
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 3: for the children. Did you say that to Miss Crips

160
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 3: on the first of August twenty twenty three.

161
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: No.

162
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 3: I suggest that you did tell Miss Crips that you'd

163
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 3: put aside two beef wellingtons for your children on two plates.

164
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 3: Agree or disagree disagree? I suggest that you were trying

165
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 3: to convey to Miss Creeps that you had prepared this

166
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 3: meal not only for the lunch guests and yourself, but

167
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 3: also for your children. Agree or disagree disagree.

168
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: Rogers wanted to know if Patison thought she had food poisoning,

169
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: and she knew her relatives wheel, why would she feed

170
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 1: her children parts of the same meal on the Sunday night.

171
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 3: I suggest that you told well over a dozen people,

172
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 3: including your son and daughter, health professionals, child protection workers, police,

173
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 3: and a friend, that you'd fed your children the same

174
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 3: meal that you had served at lunch on twenty nine

175
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 3: July twenty twenty three.

176
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 4: I was pretty clear it was the meal minus the

177
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 4: mushrooms in pastry, so not the same.

178
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 3: But yes, in terms of you making representations to people

179
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,839
Speaker 3: that you fed your children the leftovers from the lunch.

180
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 3: I suggest that that was a deliberate lie correct or incorrect?

181
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 4: Incorrect.

182
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 3: You knew that what you fed your children on Sunday

183
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 3: evenings did not contain death cap mushrooms. Agree or disagree,

184
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 3: it didn't contain any mushrooms. You repeatedly told police you

185
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 3: had scraped the mushrooms off in an attempt to explain

186
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 3: why the children were not sick. Agree or disagree.

187
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 4: I don't think I repeatedly told them, but I did

188
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 4: tell them.

189
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,839
Speaker 3: You told a number of people you had scraped the

190
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 3: mushrooms off correct, correct, And I suggest that was an

191
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,959
Speaker 3: attempt to explain why your children were not sick. No,

192
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 3: you told the lie about feeding leftovers from the beef

193
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 3: Wellington to your children, I suggest because it gave you

194
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 3: some distance from a deliberate poisoning.

195
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 4: I don't see how it could, but I disagree anyway.

196
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 1: Later, when asked about her claims to have previously foraged

197
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: for mushrooms, including porcini and shittaki, Pattison also took issue

198
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: with the children's own evidence. She said she'd picked mushrooms

199
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: while out on walks with the kids. When asked if

200
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: his mum or dad had ever picked a mushroom. Patterson's

201
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,559
Speaker 1: son told police not that I know of. When Nanette

202
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 1: Rogers asked her why her daughter had told police they'd

203
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,959
Speaker 1: never seen her pick mushrooms, Patterson said her daughter was

204
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: wrong about that. Patterson also said her children were wrong

205
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: in their recollection of why they were absent from the lunch.

206
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: She said her daughter had asked to go to a

207
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: movie instead, and she said that the daughter was wrong

208
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: when she told police that Patterson had said the lunch

209
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: was to talk about adult stuff. She said her son

210
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: was wrong when he told police the lunch was just

211
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: for the five adults.

212
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 2: Rogers put it.

213
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 1: To Patterson that she deliberately excluded the children because she didn't.

214
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 2: Want them anywhere near the poisoned food.

215
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: Patterson denied that, coming up one big question about a

216
00:10:53,320 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: lot of little beef Wellington's. Why were they individual beef

217
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: Wellington's anyway. The recipe are in Patterson used was from

218
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: Nagi Mayhashi's cookbook recipe Tin Eats, but that recipe includes

219
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 1: one large piece of beef which is wrapped in mushrooms

220
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 1: and pastry and baked, then sliced into individual serves. Patterson

221
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: made individual Wellington's, which she described as looking like pasties.

222
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 3: Your evidence to this jury is that you use individual

223
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 3: I fill at stakes because you could not source a

224
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 3: single long I fill it log.

225
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, I couldn't find one anywhere else. That's right.

226
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 3: I suggest that that's not true. I suggest you could

227
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 3: have sourced a whole I fill it portion from one

228
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 3: of the various supermarkets or Butcher's in Leanngatha or Crumbarough.

229
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 4: I may have been able to, but I don't know.

230
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 3: But you chose I suggest individual portions. I feel it

231
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 3: because you wanted to serve individual portions of beef Wellington incorrect.

232
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: Patterson told the jury that she recalled once putting mushrooms

233
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: from an Asian grocery store into her dehydrator.

234
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 4: Because I remember I remember after using the dehydrator quite

235
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 4: a few times and noticing how crisp things were when

236
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 4: they came out after quite a number of hours. I

237
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 4: remember feeling the mushrooms in the tupperware container and they

238
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 4: weren't like that. They were quite rubbery, so I thought

239
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 4: perhaps some air had got in, so I whacked them

240
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 4: in the dehydrator for a couple of hours. That's my

241
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 4: memory anyway, and when did you do that? Sometime between

242
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 4: when I bought them and when I used them, I

243
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 4: don't know when.

244
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 3: How many times?

245
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 4: How many times?

246
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 3: What did you put them in the dehydrator?

247
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 4: Just the ones?

248
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 3: I suggest that you told Sally and Atkinson that you

249
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 3: did not initially use the mushrooms from the Asian grocer

250
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 3: because you were worried they would be too overpowering. Yeah.

251
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 4: I think I did say that if.

252
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 3: They were overpowering, surely you would have been worried about

253
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 3: them being too overpowering or strong for the beef war Wellington.

254
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 4: No, I didn't think that. I thought it was the perfect.

255
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 3: Dish for them to put in your special meal.

256
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 4: Yeah.

257
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: Patterson previously told the court she planned to have gastric

258
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: bypass surgery to help her more effectively manage her weight,

259
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: and that she felt she'd need assistance in getting the

260
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: kids to and from school while she recovered from the procedure,

261
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: but she claimed she was embarrassed to admit that to

262
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:29,239
Speaker 1: her guests. Patterson told the jury a pre surgery assessment

263
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: was booked for September twenty twenty three at a Melbourne

264
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: cosmetic dermatology clinic.

265
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 3: Now that you've had a chance to read that material. Firstly,

266
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 3: do you accept that the Enriched Clinic does not offer,

267
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 3: and has never offered, gastric bypass surgery?

268
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 4: Yes?

269
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,839
Speaker 3: Do you accept that the Enriched Clinic does not offer,

270
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 3: and has never offered pre surgery assessments relating to gastric

271
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 3: bypass surgery?

272
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 2: I do.

273
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 3: And Thirdly, do you accept that the Enriched Clinic only

274
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 3: conducts examinations and procedures related to the skin and its

275
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 3: appendages such as hair, are nails.

276
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 4: I do.

277
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,959
Speaker 1: The trial continues on Thursday. You can read all the

278
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,600
