It's the 21st day of the inquest into Veronica Nelson's death in custody. After 10am today, we'll hear from a group of justice administration experts in a process called a 'hot tub'. The list of expert witnesses is in this thread. #JusticeForVeronicaNelson
We have just been told that the Administration of Justice experts are still convening privately on the questions to be put to them. The hearing will start later today. #JusticeForVeronicaNelson
The Justice Conclave will be sitting in a separate courtroom to lawyers, family and the public for this hearing, so we may not be able to identify speakers very clearly. Where we can't name them, we will share quotes and try to follow up after. #JusticeForVeronicaNelson

Day 19 of the coronial inquest into Veronica Nelson's death in custody. Today the Court will hear continued evidence from the panel of medical experts. Remote link: csvic.webex.com/csvic/onstage/…
#JusticeForVeronicaNelson
There was consensus among the medical panel that Veronica's treatment in the days and hours before her death was inhumane.
Coverage of yesterday's evidence: sbs.com.au/nitv/article/2…
#JusticeForVeronicaNelson
"Gastroenterologist Sally Bell said the way the Gunditjmara, Dja Dja Wurrung, Wiradjuri and Yorta Yorta woman died, alone, was "without dignity" and "unnecessary"."

Day 17 of the coronial inquest into the death in custody of Veronica Nelson. Today, Medical examiner Dr Yeliena Baber will give evidence. Court will resume at 11am. You can listen in online via the link, or follow here for updates #JusticeForVeronicaNelson csvic.webex.com/mw3300/mywebex…
Content warning: Today's evidence and the related tweets in this thread include details from the autopsy findings after Veronica's passing, and many of these are distressing.
#JusticeforVeronicNelson
Counsel Assisting commences questions, and Dr Baber, who did the autopsy report, goes through her descriptions of Veronica being "very malnourished”& explains that her findings in the report referred to loss of muscle and fat, says this would have been "progressive, not sudden."

Day 15 of the Coronial Inquest began today at 10.30am, with Yuin woman Aunty Vickie Roach (AV) giving evidence via video link. Today court will sit until just after lunch and Aunt will be the only one taking the stand.

Learn more about Aunty Vickie here:
abc.net.au/news/2020-07-0…
(1/5) Aunt begins by acknowledging country. She then speaks directly to Veronica’s family:
I'm sorry for your loss, sorry isn't enough. I want Veronica's death to not be in vain... the pressure this case will now bring upon the system to change.
(2/5) So the circumstances that allow avoidable tragedies, never happen to other people's families, just as it should never have happened to Veronica.
