1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:05,319 Speaker 1: Jersey and Amanda gem Nation The Daily Oz M Gillespie 2 00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,840 Speaker 1: is here. Everything we needed to know about the mushroom 3 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,480 Speaker 1: woman slash cook is going to be delivered to us 4 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:12,480 Speaker 1: right now from. 5 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,600 Speaker 2: You, delivered to you on a gray plate with a 6 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 2: beef Wellington. It's been if you can believe, six weeks. Well, 7 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,160 Speaker 2: we're in week six of this trial, one of the 8 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 2: most closely watched court hearings in Australia in recent years, 9 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,920 Speaker 2: the trial of Aaron Patterson. Of course, the fifty year 10 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,480 Speaker 2: old is facing three counts of murder and one count 11 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 2: of attempted murder following that infamous twenty twenty three lunch 12 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:39,880 Speaker 2: where she allegedly served deadly beef Wellington containing death cap mushrooms. 13 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 2: Now this week we have heard from her, the woman herself, 14 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 2: in her own words, she's been on the stand for 15 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 2: the last three days. 16 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,880 Speaker 1: Which is unusual. Isn't it for the defense to put 17 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:50,880 Speaker 1: that person on a stand. 18 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 2: It is pretty unprecedented and it can be extremely risky. 19 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 2: But I suppose they've wanted to unpack all of these 20 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 2: lies and it's been interesting. Patterson's conceded to a lot 21 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 2: of lies, but she's given her version of events for 22 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 2: those lives. So, for example, she's detailed how she made 23 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 2: the dish, admitting that there must have been foraged mushrooms 24 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 2: in the dish. She said that she'd gone to Woolies 25 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 2: she'd bought mushrooms, that she made individual beef Wellington's instead 26 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 2: of one big switch. 27 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: Sounds I mean, I'm speculating, but it does sound suss 28 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: in that that was to make sure that she knew 29 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: who was getting what well. 30 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 2: She says it's because she couldn't find big enough steak 31 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 2: to go in one piece. She was using a recipe 32 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,319 Speaker 2: tin Eats recipe, so the recipe eats is one giant. 33 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 1: Most individual. 34 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,960 Speaker 2: She said she had to turn it into individual ones 35 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:41,960 Speaker 2: and went into a Facebook group for advice on how 36 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 2: to do that. She made a mushroom paste with the 37 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 2: mushrooms from Woolies, says that it wasn't flavorful enough, so 38 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 2: she added some of the mushrooms she had in her cupboard. 39 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 2: She'd been storing mushrooms in a tubbleware container for several months. 40 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 2: She got into foraging during COVID apparently, so she was 41 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 2: foraging mushrooms from around Gippsland and she thinks that some 42 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 2: of those mushrooms must have been death cap mushrooms. But 43 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 2: essentially the case boils down to did she intentionally poison 44 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 2: her guests or was it all an accident. Of course, 45 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 2: Patterson maintains her innocence. 46 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 1: And what's she saying as to why she wasn't poisoned. 47 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 2: She says she wasn't poisoned because she only had a 48 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 2: little bit, that the beef wellingtons themselves were really large serves, 49 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,959 Speaker 2: and that afterwards we've learned this week that she says 50 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 2: she made a cake for the lunch, but because the 51 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,799 Speaker 2: servings were so big, no one really wanted dessert. When 52 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 2: she was cleaning up, there was three quarters of a 53 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 2: cake left. She said she ate the entire cake herself. 54 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 2: She detailed a history of binge eating disorders and that 55 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 2: she essentially threw up after eating all of that cake. 56 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 2: And I guess the theory is that she kind of 57 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 2: purged herself potentially of the death cap. 58 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: Mushrooms, which is why she didn't get sick. 59 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 2: But she maintains that she had diarrhea for twenty four hours, 60 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 2: that she was really sick the next day, that she 61 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 2: was driving her son quite for a long distance exten 62 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,639 Speaker 2: she had to pull over and she had an accident 63 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 2: on the side of the road, cleaned herself up at 64 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 2: a servo. So she's kind of systematically gone through all 65 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,639 Speaker 2: these lies and explained that, yes, that it was a lie. 66 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,839 Speaker 2: But here's why there was a lie. One of those 67 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,799 Speaker 2: big ones was about cancer. So we'd heard revelations that 68 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 2: she had lied to her in laws about having ovarian cancer. 69 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 2: Aaron Patterson has admitted that she falsely explained that that 70 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 2: was her diagnosis. She said she had a family history, 71 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 2: it was something she has been worried about. But really 72 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 2: what the lunch was about, she said, was to continue 73 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 2: this relationship that she had with her in laws despite 74 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 2: her husband being estranged, because she had an upcoming weight 75 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 2: loss surgery plan. She wanted to get a gastric banding surgery, 76 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 2: and she knew she'd need their support with helping with 77 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 2: the kids, but she didn't have the heart to tell 78 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 2: them because they seemed to care so much when she 79 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 2: told them she had cancer. So she's admitted to feeling 80 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 2: really nice when they were so worried about her. So 81 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 2: that's been a big standout finding. But I mean, no 82 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 2: one really expected her to take the stand. This has 83 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 2: gained international attention this one. Yeah. I think we can 84 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 2: all agree it's going to be a fascinating Netflix series 85 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 2: one day. I think that Rhonda from Rhonda and Catudas, 86 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 2: I think she should be Aaron Patterson. 87 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: Do you think she'll enjoy the diarrhea scene? Yes, I 88 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: can see. 89 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 2: The Loki personally. 90 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: Can't you see it? I? Can you talk a diary? 91 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 2: You think? 92 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: Logis M? 93 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 2: Thank you, well done.
