Simon Patterson's Memoir: Unfiltered View on Mushroom Murders

0:00It's April 18th. Welcome to Sydney News Today, powered by AI, I'm Corey with the story. Simon Patterson, the estranged husband of convicted mushroom killer Aaron Patterson, is finally sharing his side through a memoir. It's his first time telling the story outside a courtroom, with a publishing deal already locked in. Aaron got nailed for three murders. Simon's parents Don and Gail, plus his Anne Heather, after serving a lunch, spiked with death-cat mushrooms back in. July 2023, details on the book and its publisher are coming soon, straight from Spokesperson Jessica O'Donnell. Simon's not saying a word himself, staying private and letting the pages speak for him. O'Donnell figures plenty of folks won his take on the whole nightmare. The media friends he hid in sane levels during the trial, with O'Donnell pulling 80 hour weeks to handle calls, emails, and texts from outlets, worldwide. She jumped in after Simon and his family got swamped, turning it into a crash course in crisis comms. Now the book's delayed until two appeals play out.

1:02Aaron's challenging her guilty verdict on those murders, and an attempted murder charge, wow. Prosecutors call her like sentence, with a 33 year non-parole period, way too soft. Once those rap will get Simon's unfilter view, closing a chapter on Australia's most twisted lunch invite gone wrong.
