Beer now asks for a clarification on Vennell's witness statement (see above). During this morning's session, inquiry counsel Jason Beer questioned Vennells on how many cases Second Sight were supposed to review as part of their investigations into possible "systemic defects".
In one sentence, she said in the statement that she did not know of any bugs in Horizon until early 2012. But in the next, she states that the first time she became aware of the bugs was in mid-2013. Several documents showed that Vennells wanted the review to look at two or three cases.
"When did you first know of any bugs, errors or defects," Beer asks, to which Vennells replies "2013". When Beer questioned how a systemic failure could be demonstrated from only a few examples, and Vennells went on to say: "I was not trying to close anything down."
So then why did you say that it was early 2012 that you were made aware of bugs, errors or defects in Horizon, Beer asks.
"I don't know," Vennells replies. "I suspect this is just a mistake."
