Jury determines Matt Wright falsely claimed details of helicopter crash in Australia that resulted in co-star's death
An Australian celebrity known for handling crocodiles was recently found guilty of deceiving authorities and attempting to manipulate flight records in connection to a fatal helicopter crash. Matt Wright, star of various crocodile-related television shows, was convicted of two counts of obstructing justice following a month-long trial at Darwin Supreme Court. The crash in 2022 resulted in the death of his friend and co-star Chris Wilson. Wright was found guilty of providing false information regarding the helicopter's fuel level and allegedly encouraging the injured pilot to falsify flight records. The court proceedings were attended by Wilson's widow, who expressed a sense of closure at the verdict. Wright has been released on bail pending an appeal, and sentencing will take place at a later date.
