Erin Patterson's suppressed evidence uncovered; deadly fungi PDFs, a plot to kill her husband with chicken curry and odd Facebook posts

Synopsis New evidence has surfaced in Erin Patterson's triple-murder case, revealing previously suppressed pre-trial details. Prosecutors alleged Patterson showed a long-standing interest in poisonous mushrooms through a Facebook post and possessed documents detailing lethal substances. The jury was not informed about Patterson's disposal of cardboard and putting out bins on the day of the fatal lunch, actions the prosecution deemed incriminating. AP FILE - Erin Patterson leaves a court in Melbourne, Australia, on April 15, 2025. (James Ross/AAP Image via AP, File) Erin Patterson's triple-murder case has taken a new turn after previously suppressed pre-trial evidence was made public. Patterson, 50, was convicted in July of killing three people and attempting to kill a fourth with a poisoned beef Wellington lunch in 2023. It is also revealed that the alleged Australian mushroom killer tried to poison husband with chicken curry, pasta, and wrap. The evidence, once ruled inadmissible by Justice Christopher Beale, included a Facebook post prosecutors said showed Patterson's long-standing interest in poisonous to pre-trial material, reportedly by the Nightly, the prosecutors alleged Patterson uploaded a photo of a cat eating mushrooms about 18 months before the first alleged poisoning in November 2021. The post read: 'My cat chewed on this mushroom just now. He is having a vomit. Was in grassland near trees, I'm in Victoria Australia.'Prosecutors claimed Patterson did not own a cat and that the post was dishonest. They planned to use it to argue she had a focused interest in poisons. Defence lawyers objected, saying the post's reliability was questionable and that the source of the screenshot had previously manipulated images. Justice Beale ruled the evidence out, agreeing it could unfairly prejudice the jury. Victoria Police digital investigators found thousands of files on devices seized from Patterson's home, searching for terms like 'death,' 'mushroom,' and 'poison.' According to among them was an appendix from a 2007 book, Criminal Poisoning: Investigational Guide for Law Enforcement, Toxicologists, Forensic Scientists, and Attorneys, found on a Samsung detailed properties and lethal doses of substances, including antifreeze, arsenic, and cyanide. Prosecutors alleged Patterson had access to it in 2019. The Nightly stated that another PDF, an Overview of Fungi in Melbourne, contained images of death cap mushrooms. The defence maintained that it had little value as it did not mention poisonous mushrooms. The jury heard Patterson disposed of the dehydrator used to dry the deadly mushrooms after leaving the hospital on August 2, 2023. But they were not told she visited Koonwarra transfer station the day of the fatal lunch to dispose of cardboard, or that she put her bins out for collection that same day as per the Nightly points prosecutors had argued were incriminating conduct in pre-trial remains convicted of murdering Don and Gail Patterson and Heather Wilkinson, and attempting to murder Ian Wilkinson.

Nightly takes the long way to Japan, with a little help from Coldplay

TOKYO - An intimate backstage conversation with Coldplay's Chris Martin provided Nightly frontman Jonathan Capeci with a simple but powerful piece of advice: keep writing. It is a mindset Nightly has carried since stepping away from the major-label system to build a career on Nashville-based trio's own terms. Now, Capeci and bandmates Joey Beretta and Nicholas Sainato are bringing Nightly's emotionally charged indie pop sound to Japan and the Philippines for their first headline shows outside of North America. For a band led by heart, not hype, it is a quiet victory that has been years in the making. "Japan and Southeast Asia have always been like bucket-list (destination) for us," Capeci told Kyodo News in a recent interview. "It hasn't quite registered for us yet that it's really happening and I don't know if it will until we touch down and then it will be like 'wow, we are really here.' It feels like another world because of how far away it is." Nightly is set to play shows at the U.S. Pavilion at the World Exposition in Osaka on July 18 and 19. The band then flies out to Manila to do a gig on July 21 before returning to Japan to do an acoustic show in Tokyo on July 23. we heard y'all and added a show in Manila !! more details on our website, we can't wait to see you <3 — NIGHTLY (@Nightly) July 12, 2025 "Since our band started, Japan has always been in our top listeners on Apple Music and things like that, which is surprising because we have, obviously, never actually been there," said Capeci. "We've had a goal for Japan and the Philippines for a long time and an opportunity came up basically to play the World Expo so that's kind of how the whole thing started, because it was a good opportunity to get us there, be part of the expo and do some headline shows around it." There is a dreamy, cinematic quality to Nightly's music that evokes late-night introspection. The band has often described its music as "songs to drive to," which also happens to be the title of their latest album, released earlier this year. Nightly's emotional storytelling, backed with catchy melodies and lush synths, draws comparisons to the likes of American band LANY, who boast a massive fan base across Southeast Asia, regularly selling out stadiums in the Philippines and Indonesia. Capeci says the prospect of connecting with that audience is both exciting and humbling. "Just seeing people comment (on social media), or message seeing where the (online) plays are coming from, it definitely seems that people (in that region) tend to like music in our genre, so we feel very grateful for that." After releasing several EPs and singles with Interscope Records, Nightly signed to BMG and released their debut album "night, love you" in 2020. But even then, signs of industry fatigue were already creeping in, and after parting ways with BMG the band decided to operate as an independent outfit. "Last year I almost threw in the towel, I got tired of suits telling me what to write about," Capeci sings on "Older," a raw, reflective track from night, love you. "Jon came into the studio and he was like 'I had this idea last night' and he plays this song for me on acoustic guitar and I was like that is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard in my life. We have to do that right now." -- Joey Beretta "That lyric came from a real place for sure. It can be a tough industry," says Capeci, adding that labels often miss the mark, "Twenty Something," one of the band's most beloved songs, being a prime example. "That was one that the suits were kind of in our ear about, saying you can't release this song. But we had a gut feeling and if you have a gut feeling about something, don't let anybody tell you otherwise." "It has a special place because I think it's the first time the three of us took a stand and said no we're putting this out anyway. They said fine, we'll bury it, but people ended up loving it." Beretta, who as well as being a bandmate is also Capeci's cousin, echoed the sentiment. "I think what's interesting about the process we have gone through to get here is that you sign your first big deal and you're like oh all this stuff is going to happen a certain way now and you just assume things will get better and more successful." "Then you get kind of disillusioned when you realize that's not what's happening," said Beretta. As Nightly prepares to embark on its long-awaited Asia trip, Capeci recalls a conversation with Coldplay superstar Martin that helped reaffirm his purpose as an artist. The meeting took place after a Coldplay show in Atlanta in 2022 and the two bonded over their matching heart hand tattoos. Capeci also told Martin how much he had influenced him as a songwriter. "He was very sweet and said write a song every day so I said 'yeah!'" That moment -- two musicians connected by heart, ink, and a shared devotion to the craft -- continues to shape the tale Nightly is writing, every day.

Nightly Raises Over $62,000 for Make-A-Wish North Texas With Sold-Out Graduation Concert

Nightly, the youth-led event platform founded by Dallas entrepreneur Thomas Owen, raised $62,180 for Make-A-Wish North Texas through a sold-out Graduation Concert at Gilley's Southside Ballroom. Over 3,000 students from 40 high schools attended the event, which featured rising country artist Ty Myers. Dallas-Ft. Worth, TX, Texas, United States, June 23, 2025 -- Last month, over 3,000 students representing more than 40 high schools across the Dallas-Fort Worth area came together for something that was much more than a graduation celebration. The Graduation Concert, produced by Nightly, raised $62,180 for Make-A-Wish North Texas. The event was hosted at Gilley's Southside Ballroom and featured a live performance from 17-year-old country artis Ty Myers with millions of monthly listeners on Spotify. Nightly, founded by Dallas entrepreneur Thomas Owen, claims not to be 'just another event company.' It is recognized as a platform that merges cultural moments with real impact, designed to show a new generation how celebration and contribution can exist in the same space. The Graduation Concert proved that it is possible to make noise and make a difference at the same time. The $62,180 raised will help grant life-changing wishes to children battling critical illnesses. On May 10th, just hours after the concert, Make-A-Wish North Texas CEO Kim Elenez took the stage at the nonprofit's annual gala and publicly recognized Thomas's work. The check was later presented at the Make-A-Wish North Texas headquarters. 'Thomas had an idea as a high school senior that giving should be a part of his life work, so last night he hosted the largest graduation party of all time benefitting Make-A-Wish,' said Kim Elenez to a full ballroom at Wish Night at the Omni Hotel in Dallas. Behind the scenes, the event took months of planning and relied on a growing team of passionate students and young leaders. Every detail, from ambassador recruitment to event logistics, was handled with intention. What made this night special wasn't just the lights, the music, or the packed venue. It was the deeper belief that young people could lead, inspire, and create lasting change. Nightly is building more than concerts. It is shaping an ecosystem where students are not just attendees but contributors. Where every event, every role, every piece of media feeds a broader movement. Nightly is laying the foundation for something that will expand far beyond Dallas, blending live events, digital storytelling, and community engagement into a brand new category. As word spreads, Nightly continues to gain momentum from students, parents, artists, and nonprofits who see what it stands for. There is an unmistakable energy surrounding what was built on May 9th, and that energy is already fueling what comes next. This fall, Nightly will take its vision on the road with the launch of the Nightly College Tour, a multi-city experience designed to bring that same blend of celebration and impact to campuses across the country. The tour marks the next chapter in Nightly's mission: to turn unforgettable nights into unforgettable change. About the company: Nightly is a cultural event platform creating unforgettable experiences through live music, digital storytelling, and community-driven energy. Based in Dallas, Nightly has quickly grown into a movement with a loyal audience across high schools and colleges. From major graduation concerts to the upcoming Nightly College Tour, the brand is building an ecosystem where entertainment, influence, and impact intersect. Learn more at or follow @nightlyplatform.

NOTES AND QUOTES – NBC SPORTS' COVERAGE OF THE 125TH U.S. OPEN (THIRD ROUND)

Sunday's Final Round Coverage Begins at 9 a.m. ET on USA Network and Continues on NBC and Peacock at Noon ET 'He answered a lot of questions about himself today – but tomorrow will be the biggest day of his career.' – Dan Hicks on Sam Burns (-4, Leader) 'It really seems like physically and mentally that Adam Scott is in complete control of his game and his mind.' – Smylie Kaufman on Scott (-3, T-2nd) 'If he were to go on to win tomorrow, remember that shot today.' - Terry Gannon on Viktor Hovland's shot from the rough on No. 17 to a few feet Mini Episodes of the GOLF Channel Podcast with Rex & Lav Post Nightly STAMFORD, Conn. – June 14, 2025 – NBC Sports presented third round coverage of the 125th U.S. Open from Oakmont Country Club on NBC, Peacock, and USA Network, including on-site post-round coverage on Golf Central Live From the U.S. Open on GOLF Channel. Sunday's final round coverage begins at 9 a.m. ET on USA Network and continues on NBC and Peacock at noon ET. Saturday's coverage included a visit to the broadcast booth by 18-time major winner Jack Nicklaus, who won his first major title at the 1962 U.S. Open at Oakmont. 125th U.S. Open – Third Round Leaderboard ON SAM BURNS (-4, Leader) Hicks: 'He answered a lot of questions about himself today – but tomorrow will be the biggest day of his career.' Terry Gannon on his par at No. 7: 'That's a U.S. Open par.' Kisner on his pre-shot routine: 'He does his routine almost every single shot I've ever seen him hit. He's always trying to keep that club face outside of his hands and he checks it with his eyes before he goes back to set and hit his shot. That routine gets him super comfortable with where he's putting the golf club on every swing.' Brad Faxon on Burns' putting following birdie on No. 13: 'Scottie Scheffler has said that Sam is one of these guys that has good fundamentals, good instincts and he putts very reactionary. That's a good compliment from the best in the world.' Kisner on Burns' long birdie putt left short from the front of No. 16: 'The guys have been leaving this putt short all day long.' Jim 'Bones' Mackay: 'It's funny – as the guys were walking up to the green, someone in the crowd was yelling that the guys have been short from the front of this green all day long.' ON ADAM SCOTT (-3, T-2nd) Hicks following Scott's birdie on No. 13: 'You get the feeling that Adam Scott is kind of a favorite? That was a heck or a roar.' Kaufman prior to his birdie on No. 17 to tie for the lead: 'This is a putt you almost expect to make has a player. Just a cup or two out on the right side, but I think that Adam Scott is licking his chops here. It really seems like physically and mentally that Adam Scott is in complete control of his game and his mind.' ON J.J. SPAUN (-3, T-2nd) Begay III: 'He's just been really solid in a lot of areas of the game…Really seems to be comfortable with his golf swing, but more important he's been comfortable in the moment.' Hicks: 'There is confidence in that putter.' Faxon: 'I think hearing what he said about his experience at the PLAYERS, playing against Rory when he said he was the most nervous he's ever been, particularly in the playoff on Monday morning...I really think that experience is going to help him down the stretch at Oakmont.' ON VIKTOR HOVLAND (-1, 4th) Faxon following his missed birdie on No. 7: 'It gets frustrating when you hit good shots and you don't make (the putts), you just have to remind yourself, 'I can keep doing this. I'm going to keep hitting good putts. I have to go through my process.'' Hicks after his birdie on No. 10: 'That's why Hovland says he has been in a good state of mind. Even though you're going to pick up bogeys like he did early in the round, he knows he's hitting well and he doesn't get into panic mode.' Kisner: 'I love this look in his face. He's just so stoic.' Smylie Kaufman: 'I talked to his caddie Shay Knight and he said just about every iron he has hit today, there's been a little bit more juice in it. There's been about four or five extra yards that there haven't expecting.' Terry Gannon on Hovland's shot from the rough on No. 17 to a few feet: 'If he were to go on to win tomorrow, remember that shot today.' ON TYRRELL HATTON (+1, T-6th) Kisner: 'He always seems to be around in these majors on the weekend.' Hicks: 'U.S. Open, Tyrrell Hatton, and Oakmont? Sign me up. Around this place, it could send even Hatton to a whole new level.' ON SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER (+4, T-11th) Hicks on Scheffler's putting today: 'He just hasn't been able to continue that really good putting streak that he's had by winning three of his last four starts.' Scheffler to Cara Banks post-round on the mental grind of Oakmont: 'Collin, Viktor and I were laughing in scoring yesterday because there was one instance yesterday where Collin kind of walked through my line because he got flustered by chipping it over the green. Viktor did the same thing on the hole before because he had played a little hockey and then I had messed up some scores on Collin's card so we're sitting there laughing in scoring like, 'What are we doing out there?' Maybe once or twice a year you mess up somebody's score, and I messed up two of Collin's yesterday so it's challenging in a lot of different senses and it's especially challenging when you're not hitting the ball where you're looking, but overall, I still have an outside chance going into tomorrow.' ON RORY MCILROY (+10, T-49th) Begay III on Rory McIlroy's performance: 'I give him a little bit of a pass with the career Grand Slam. Now he's just trying to figure out, 'What are my goals now?' For a decade, it was, 'I need to win The Masters.' What does he want his new set of goals to be to make his mark on the game?' JACK NICKLAUS WITH MIKE TIRICO Nicklaus to Tirico on winning his first major at the 1962 U.S. Open at Oakmont: 'I remember playing very well and managing my game. Barbara and I were 22-year-olds at the time. It was fun. Jackie with us was eight months old. It's a lot of things to remember but I remember I played basically 17 weeks in a row coming into the U.S. Open.' Nicklaus on playing with Arnold Palmer at Oakmont in 1962: 'People have asked me that a thousand times. I never heard the people. I was a 22-year-old kid with blinders on. I had one focus of mine at that's to win a golf tournament…I felt like this was my year and I came in here not realizing, or just dumb enough, to (not) know that there was a guy named Arnold Palmer that lived in western Pennsylvania. But anyway, I played well and Arnie played well. A lot of guys played well that week, we shot one-under par. That was a good score at a U.S. Open. And it still is.' Nicklaus on the mental approach of playing major events: 'The one thing you have to do is be patient. You know that you can't force things at a U.S. Open. When you force things, that's when you make mistakes, that's when you get killed…I always liked golf courses where par was important. I never liked a golf course where 20-under par was something that you strived for. It then became a putting contest, and you really can't play that way. You have to play a total different mindset on that type of a golf course. But here, Oakmont's a challenge. It's the roughest stuff, the fairways are appropriate width, the greens are usually firm and fast. It's what an Open should be.' ON OAKMONT Brandel Chamblee on the 2025 U.S. Open: 'It was kind of sleepy for the first two-and-a-half days or so. It's like the whole championship took a couple of Ambien. Then it was like the girl in Pulp Fiction that got stabbed with the adrenaline – it woke right up.' Mike Tirico on Oakmont: 'With the set up, it is the way the game is played today and the classic test of golf and where the two intersect. And that's why the leaderboard has some throwbacks there, guys who won majors ten, 12 years ago. It's an interesting mix. It's cool. It's not the same thing week-in, week-out and that's what makes all of it, plus the national championship on the line, so entertaining.' Kevin Kisner on if Oakmont is the toughest U.S. Open course: 'I'd rate it as the toughest mental test. I think it's relentless, it's exhausting. All day you're on the grind and just over and over again mentally, you just get beat up. I love that the premium here is driving the golf ball in the fairway, and that starts right there at the first…I really love the idea of what the USGA tries to accomplish and that's get every club in the bag dirty. I think that's a cool motto to try to accomplish.' Notah Begay III on the changing conditions at Oakmont: 'The golf course has changed a little bit with all the moisture that came overnight. The greens are more receptive and the fairways softer…It really favors the players that trap the ball a little bit more.' Gary Koch on making adjustments mid-tournament: 'So much of golf, at this level, is about knowing how to correct yourself. It's not like other sports where you have a manager or coach.'
