00:00Shaman Fox Henry, he was tasked with extracting data from devices seized from Ms. Patterson's
00:08home, a computer, phones, a tablet and last week the court heard that data was recovered
00:14from a computer and it included visits to the iNaturalist website and specifically a
00:20web page that included a reference to death cat mushrooms in Melbourne.
00:24So today it was Ms. Patterson's lawyer's turn to question Mr. Fox Henry, he's taken them
00:31through more detail into how he did those data extractions, some of that very technical
00:38and the defence has put to him that he didn't have the qualifications he does now when he
00:44did those data extractions which he conceded.
00:47He conceded that when it came to a photo of a dehydrator that was extracted from a tablet
00:52seized from Ms. Patterson's home that while there was record of that thumbnail he couldn't
00:59confirm whether it was sent from someone else or the original device that that photo was
01:04taken on and when it came to that iNaturalist visit he said he didn't analyse records prior
01:10or after to those visits and so he couldn't tell who had used the computer and the length
01:16of the session. Now Erin Patterson has pleaded not guilty to the murder of three of her estranged
01:22husband's relatives by serving them a beef wellington meal containing death cat mushrooms.
01:28She denies that she deliberately poisoned her guests.
01:31Okay and Alex Friday's witness if we can just recap was a doctor who treated the lunch guests.
01:38Are you able to give a bit of a recap of where we left off from last week?
01:41Yeah that was Dr Stephen Worillo. He's the Director of Intensive Care at the Austin Hospital in Melbourne
01:51and he gave evidence about the rapid decline of those lunch guests after consuming that beef
01:57wellington lunch. He said that when they arrived at the hospital they were suffering multiple organ
02:02failure. They were critically ill and he then went through all of the treatment that the doctors
02:07tried on those lunch guests including you know activated charcoal a medication called NAC that
02:13can protect your liver. He said that one of the guests Dom Patterson received a liver transplant but
02:19unfortunately it didn't work in the end three of those lunch guests died. The sole survivor Ian Wilkinson
02:27was the only guest that survived that lunch and the doctor said that when those other three guests
02:33were passing away he actually turned a corner and started to get better and Ian Wilkinson was sitting
02:39in the court as that evidence was was taking place.
