“They don’t prove she was assaulted, but they are consistent,” he said.
He turned to the issue of sertraline found in Ms Baden-Clay’s body.
He said the blood sample came from the liver and it was highly likely the drug was diffused, raising its concentration.
Mr Fuller said forensic pharmacologist Dr Olaf Drummer was of the view the drug sertraline, sold as Zoloft, did not contribute to her death.
He added Dr Drummer said death from sertraline overdose itself was uncommon and usually only occurred in combination with other drugs.
Mr Fuller said Ms Baden-Clay was a long-term user of Zoloft since first prescribed it in 2003.
He said her dosage had fluctuated between nothing, to 50mg to sometimes 100mg, depending on stressors in her life.
Mr Fuller said there was evidence Ms Baden-Clay visited her GP in September, 2011 and asked for her dosage of Zoloft to be increased to 100mg.
He said that meant she had been on an increased dose of Zoloft for seven months before her death.
Mr Fuller said Ms Baden-Clay had a consultation with her GP where she asked for a prescription of 100mg of Zoloft to deal with mood swings in her menstrual cycle.
“She had nothing to hide from her GP and of course, that’s simply consistent with what, one of the uses that we heard about from Dr Tom George, who told her to increase her dosage a couple of days before her mood swings,” he said.
“It seems once you have a diagnosis… people are entitled to use that diagnosis against you…”
He showed the jury a photograph of a box of Zoloft found in the centre console of the Holden Captiva.
Mr Fuller said the packet of Zoloft, prescribed to Ms Baden-Clay and dispensed on March 13, 2012, was empty.
