I applaud your ability to engage! Unfortunately it's been quite clear that her supporters dodge answering questions like these because they don't have a strong case and I feel deep down they know it too.
Imagine her internal monologue making that statement…
Her personality screams that she will pursue this in courts at every level available. And I foresee that she will ditch her defence counsel and go with someone else that she deems more capable. Wouldn’t be surprised if she tries to take her current representatives for a wash.
Delusional?
Erin’s commentary about her interactions with Dr Webster whilst she was on the stand suggested, to me, that she despised him - his tone of voice, his lack of finesse in the choice of words he used to communicate about the seriousness of the situation faced by the others - primarily because he is a medical authority who suspected her guilt which carries more clout than the seemingly dotty older family member or jilted ex. So attacking Dr Webster’s personal qualities was really her only means of detracting from his credibility.
EP was born in 1974, and the story I linked below says "In her mid-20s, Patterson left her science course and pursued a degree in accounting." That would be in the early 2000s. It also says "In 2001, she also sat for an Air Services class photo - which included all the trainee air traffic controllers for that year" and "Patterson was not an air traffic controller for long before she transitioned to working in animal management for the RSPCA at Monash City Council. It was here, in 2004, where she met her ex-husband Simon Patterson." She had at least two jobs after she "pursued a degree in accounting" and neither would have afforded her the three years of practical experience to qualify as a CPA. And SP and EP only met after she'd left her accounting studies. MOO she may have done some bookkeeping and represented herself to SP as an accountant despite never having been one. He had nothing to "witness" about her jobs before the RSPCA because they didn't know each other.
Erin Patterson's personal life revealed after she was found guilty

'She's no dope': Who is the host of Australia's most infamous lunch?
The world has met Erin Patterson as the murderous cook behind a mushroom meal that killed three relatives. But years before her courtroom infamy, the woman from Melbourne's suburbs divided opinions.www.abc.net.au
This is so hard to read. I can only imagine how the doctors, nurses and health teams must have felt trying desperately to save Don, Gail, Heather and Ian! And how Erin, who said she was too panicked to admit the source of the mushrooms sat playing weasel word games on the stand. Vile! No remorse, no empathy.
Families of mushroom killer's victims 'dignified' till the end, says ICU doctor
Erin Patterson has been described as a sociopath by one doctor who met with her while another describes the true horrors of watching her victims suffer.
Intensive care doctor Stephen Warrillow details agonising efforts to save Erin Patterson's mushroom murder victims
"They were devastatingly unwell," Dr Warrillow told 7.30.
All four presented to the hospital with severe symptoms and were treated by a team led by Dr Stephen Warrillow, who is Director of Intensive Care at Austin Health.
Toxins and transplants
Dr Warrillow said all four patients were then put on mechanical ventilators and dialysis-style machines to try and purify their blood.
"Liver transplantation is one of the most complex and lengthy surgical procedures that we would ever do," he said.
"The patient has to be sick enough to need one, but well enough to get through the surgery.
"It takes essentially an entire day and for the theatre team, this is really a marathon.
"It's quite a remarkable outcome for him that he was ultimately able to survive and could recover so well in the end."
Dr Warrillow told 7.30 that he and the treatment team had advised Ian Wilkinson's family it was likely he would die and credited his fortitude and the work of his nurses for his survival.
"Ultimately he stabilised and that took a lot of work from, particularly the bedside nurses, to provide extraordinary measures of support for his circulation, and to try and clear toxins from his blood," he said.
"They did a tremendous job with that."

Her patchy CV certainly says something about her. She wasn't able to stick at one thing.
Can you explain why you have doubts that it was deliberate?
I agree, she was bored out of her brain. Hadn't worked for around 20 years, where most people gain a sense of achievement and purpose. Could never live up to expectations, flitted between her online fantasy world and her at home fantasy world, i.e Lego, Star Wars.
You were surprised? He saw Ian and Heather in agony in the hospital and he knew that Erin wasn't telling the truth. She didn't even ask how the others were going and couldn't get out of the hospital quickly enough after Dr Webster spoke to her. Doctors are human as well. No wonder he's angry. Erin Patterson is an evil monster!
Me too. I hope they keep her away from the prison kitchen.
Erin Patterson trial was Victoria supreme court’s largest media matter in recent history, court data reveals
More than 250 Australian and international journalists registered for court updates on triple murder trial, with spokesperson praising coverage as largely fair and accuratewww.theguardian.com
The ABC announced last week that Toxic, “a layered and intricate series” exploring the events surrounding the beef wellington lunch, had been commissioned from producer Tony Ayres. Hachette will publish Recipe for Murder, a book by Duncan McNab, in October, with Allen & Unwin releasing The Mushroom Murders by Greg Haddrick shortly after.
The cast of characters covering the trial included nine authors, seven podcast producers, seven documentary crews and a television drama series, a spokesperson for the court told the media on Wednesday.
McNab & Haddrick are great authors IMO
100% and like everyone else, he has also had two years to stew on the case, the BS details that trickled out about the Asian grocer, the burner phones, bush poop, body image/bullemia/surgery/BS etc, and has formulated his own thoughts and opinion of her…as have all of us!
Right! And she accuses Simon and his family of lacking self-insight.
Do you think chucking a dehydrator filled with death cap residue is an accidental thing? Is it possible that her Facebook messages are spur of the moment or as I believe deeper insights into what she truly felt about her in laws? Do you think that having a different coloured plate to distinguish your non poisoned portion is an accident or further proof of calculated, cold-blooded murder? Do you think no less than three factory resets of her phone are the actions of an innocent person? I'm interested in your thoughts
