Erin Patterson on her in-laws, her estranged husband, low self-esteem and a spiritual encounter
She said at the time, she was also preparing to return to study in 2024 after being accepted into a bachelor of nursing and midwifery at Federation University, which she had previously deferred to care for her children. The accused was also asked about her Leongatha home, telling the jury she'd helped design it using Microsoft Paint and wanted it to be her forever home. 'Where once they moved away for uni or work, they could come back and stay wherever they liked, bring their children and I'd grow old there. That's what I'd hoped,' she told the jury. 'I really liked living there. I was comfortable financially, such that I could afford to go to university and I didn't need to work a full-time job at the same time.' A softly spoken Patterson, seated in the witness box, explained that in the early days of her relationship with Simon Patterson they had lived together in Perth. There, she said, Don and Gail Patterson visited several times a year, even helping plan part of her wedding to their son by arranging a large marquee and food. But in early 2023, she said she felt things began to change. 'Partly as a consequence that I no longer lived in the same town as Don and Gail,' she said. Patterson said her relationship with Simon Patterson – after separating in 2015 – had grown to be only functional and they no longer related to 'friend things' like they used to. The accused said by 2023, she was also not feeling good about herself physically and had been fighting a never-ending battle with low self-esteem, putting on weight, and was unable to exercise as much as previously. 'I was planning to have weight-loss surgery, you know, is it gastric bypass? I was planning to do that,' she said. Mandy took Erin Patterson back to the beginning of her romantic relationship with Simon Patterson which she said began in mid-2005 before they married in June 2007. She said it was while they were dating in early 2005 she first met Don and Gail Patterson while staying at their house during a weekend away. The accused said at the time she knew her partner was Christian, but she described herself as a 'fundamentalist atheist'. That all changed though, she said, during her first-ever visit to church where Ian Wilkinson was giving a sermon at Korumburra Baptist Church. 'So through the course of those months, December '04, January, February '05 we had a lot of conversations about life, religion, politics and a lot about religion, and I was trying to convert him to being an atheist, but things happened in reverse and I became a Christian,' she said. 'I remember being really excited about [going to her first church service] because I'd never been to a church service before, I'd been to my sister's wedding in a church but that was it. 'I remember that there was a banner up on the wall, behind where Ian was preaching … it said ... faith, hope and love. 'There's a passage in the Bible that talks about faith, hope and love and the greatest of these is love. 'I had, what at best can be described as, like a spiritual experience.' Patterson said she went on to attend Bible study sessions with Simon Patterson and some of his family and friends before the couple got married in June 2007. 'We got married in the Korumburra Anglican Church. A beautiful church. We wanted Ian and Heather to be able to come and relax as guests rather than have jobs for the day like they would have if we'd got married at Korumburra Baptist,' she said. The accused said her husband's cousin walked her down the aisle as her parents were 'in Russia on a train' at the time. 'Don and Gail hired a huge marquee and put on a buffet for everybody,' she told the jury. Trying to hold back tears, Erin Patterson detailed the help Gail Patterson had been to her after the 'traumatic' birth of her first baby. 'Don and Gail came very quickly. It would have been only a couple weeks after,' she said. 'I remember being really relieved that Gail was there because I felt really out of my depth.' Erin said Gail was really supportive, gentle and patient with her, giving advice about helping settle the baby and trying to interpret his cries. 'She gave me good advice about just relax and enjoy it, you don't have to stick to this timetable, this schedule, just relax and enjoy your baby.' In late 2009, Erin and Simon Patterson took their three-month-old son on a trip across the top of Australia, but she said travelling with a baby was difficult and she eventually returned to Perth where the couple separated for the first time. The jury was told after reuniting two or three months later, the pair endured further separations during their relationship until 2015 when they split permanently. She said there didn't appear to be any conflict in their parenting of the children.

Colts delete controversial schedule release video featuring Tyreek Hill arrest
The NFL released the full 18-week schedule for the 2025 season on May 14. Each team had their own way of announcing their schedule via video. Two teams used the popular video game "Minecraft" (the inspiration for a 2025 movie starring Jack Black and Jason Momoa) to take fans through their 18-week season: the Indianapolis Colts and Los Angeles Chargers. Advertisement The Colts' video included subtly jokes aimed at their opponents for 2025 but the team has since removed their video from X. Speculation is that it was removed due to the first opponent on the schedule: the Miami Dolphins. The original video featured a Tyreek Hill=styled dolphin seemingly being stopped by a Coast Guard boat. That may be in reference to his arrest last year for a traffic violation before the Dolphins' season opener. The video is no longer posted on the Colts' X account. Instead, the team has a thread of art made in Microsoft Paint for each matchup as made by the X user @nba_paint. There's also speculation that the team took the video down because the Chargers had a similar video. Advertisement Colts officials have not provided a reason for the video being taken down.

'This Couldn't Look Worse!': Jimmy Kimmel Nails Trump's 'Most Disturbing Moment Yet'
Jimmy Kimmel said a single moment from President Donald Trump's interview this week with ABC's Terry Moran 'might be the most disturbing moment yet.' 'Trump says crazy stuff every day,' Kimmel said. 'But most of the time, you know he's full of it. He's bragging or he's lying or whatever, he's just throwing crap onto his vision board.' But Kimmel said Trump's conversation with Moran 'went off the rails' when the topic turned to Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man mistakenly deported to a prison in El Salvador. Trump insisted that Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang. His evidence: A doctored photo in which someone had added 'MS-13' to Abrego Garcia's knuckle tattoos. 'To everyone else, this looks like it was created in Microsoft Paint on a Tandy 1000,' Kimmel said. 'But to Donald Trump, this is irrefutable evidence.' When Moran pointed out that the image was 'Photoshopped,' Trump threw a fit. 'This is why people no longer believe the news,' the president said. 'This couldn't look worse if Trump had written it in with a Sharpie himself,' Kimmel said. 'Our president is falling for Facebook memes. Not even good Facebook memes. He's like your aunt who texts you a picture of a Minion and asks 'is this person real?'' Kimmel said Trump is 'not a rational person' and said there are some frightening possibilities here. 'Best case scenario: He needs glasses,' Kimmel said. 'Worst case: We are about to be duped out of the presidency by a Nigerian prince.' See more in his Wednesday night monologue:
