Higgins speech on the steps of court

From ABC.net.au - my bold added for emphasis

Reported after the trial but before today's events;

"Throughout her three days in the witness box, Ms Higgins's testimony became emotional and at times, heated."

Higgins speech today;

"I was required to tell the truth under oath for over a week in the witness stand and was cross-examined at length...."

3 days, or over a week?

You can draw your own inference.
