Controversial radio hosts Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O could be held in contempt of court over comments made during Erin Patterson's murder trial.

Council of the City of Sydney

Radio personalities Kyle and Jackie O have been referred for prosecution for contempt of court after making comments about an ongoing murder trial. The remarks, made in mid-June, included a statement suggesting the accused should be imprisoned, which prompted concern from Justice Christopher Beal.

Justice Beal had previously cautioned the media against broadcasting opinions or commentary that could affect the trial. The judge's response to the comments highlighted the importance of responsible reporting during legal proceedings. The Kyle and Jackie O show may now face contempt proceedings as a result.

Kyle and Jackie O referred for contempt of court

That's right, Urs's one mushroom murder trial ends, another one could be set to begin. The Kyle and Jackie O show has been referred for prosecution for contempt over some comments they made last month about the trial. Throughout this trial, Justice Christopher Beal has just really urged the media not to broadcast opinion and commentary after these comments were made by Kyle and Jackie O in mid-June. Now I'm going to quote some of it, it was along the lines of, just lock the bee up. The morning afterwards, Justice Beal said to the media to please engage your brains before you open your mouths. Now several other reports have been brought up during the trial as being risky but I guess this one just really crossed the line for Justice Beal so we could see the Kyle and Jackie O show facing some contempt proceedings in the future.
