www.theguardian.comI don’t have live access to the latest updates right now, but here’s what’s tracked recently about Simon Patterson in connection with the “mushroom” case:
- Reports in mid-April 2026 indicated that Simon Patterson, the estranged husband of Erin Patterson, planned to publish a memoir about the case, with publishers already in discussions. This would be his first public account outside legal proceedings.[2][3][4]
- Multiple outlets in April 2026 highlighted that Patterson’s memoir would cover his experiences and allegedly multiple instances where Erin Patterson allegedly attempted to poison him, though he has not publicly commented in detail as the case unfolds in court.[4][2]
- The broader Erin Patterson case continues to attract media attention, including ongoing appeals in the Supreme Court and related legal developments, with ongoing media coverage about the memoir deal and related testimony in court.[3][4]
