Erin Patterson tells court she didn't measure how much her lunch guests ate
By Joseph Dunstan
The prosecutor then moves to the topic of how much of her beef Wellington meal Erin Patterson ate at the lunch.
"I suggest that it's not the case that you simply picked at your own meal at the lunch?" Dr Rogers asks.
"I don't think I claimed that," Ms Patterson says.
Dr Rogers recaps banter at the table about how much people had eaten and asserts there was no banter about how much Ms Patterson ate because she ate her meal. Ms Patterson disagrees.
The prosecutor recaps how much people ate, starting with Gail, who the court has previously heard ate just half of her meal.
"It may have been more, it may have been less, I didn't measure it," Ms Patterson responds.
Dr Rogers then moves to an account from doctor Rhonda Stuart, who previously told the court Ms Patterson had told her she'd eaten roughly half of her meal.
"I suggest that you had in fact eaten a whole portion of your serve at the lunch ... and you told Professor Stuart, half in an effort to explain to the medical authorities, why your symptoms were not as serious as the symptoms for the other four lunch guests," Dr Rogers says.
"Incorrect," Ms Patterson responds.
She maintains under questioning that she does not recall her conversation with Professor Stuart at all.
