During day 30 of Erin Patterson's trial, cross-examination focused on her preparation of beef wellingtons, specifically the mushrooms used. Prosecutor Nanette Rogers confronted Patterson about the purchase of 1.75kg of mushrooms despite only needing 700g according to the recipe. Patterson claimed she consumed the extra mushrooms, a statement Rogers disputed. Throughout the questioning, Patterson denied knowingly incorporating dangerous mushrooms into her dish and claimed she did not discuss the ingredients with her lunch guests, a rebuttal to accusations of malicious intent as the trial progresses.
I was not planning to add foraged mushrooms. Just because I mentioned them doesn't mean I intended to use them. I'd never harm anyone.
The only mushrooms I prepared for the meal were the ones from the recipe. I didn't consider that they might include dangerous ones.
Rogers challenges Erin Patterson on the unusually high quantity of mushrooms bought for her beef wellingtons, questioning the authenticity of her claims.
Under intense scrutiny, Patterson maintains she did not share the ingredients used in her dish with her guests, insisting they barely discussed the meal.
