A nurse who assessed Veronica Nelson in the lead-up to her death at a Melbourne women's prison was repeatedly rebuffed when she asked to make a statement about what she saw.
Stephanie Hills, who was involved in Veronica's first medical assessment at the Dame Phyllis Frost Centre on December 31, 2019, recalled in tearful testimony on Wednesday her shock at the news the Yorta Yorta woman died in her cell on January 2, 2020.
