Overview

• At a Darwin pre-trial hearing, the Director of Public Prosecutions filed an amended indictment that split Wright’s single perverting the course of justice charge into three separate counts.
• The five-week proceeding was pushed back from an initial July 7 start to July 28 in the Northern Territory Supreme Court.
• The charges stem from his alleged actions after a February 2022 helicopter crash during a crocodile egg collecting mission in West Arnhem Land that killed co-star Chris Wilson and left pilot Sebastian Robinson paraplegic.
• The Robinson R44 involved was owned and operated by Wright’s company, Helibrook, at the time of the expedition.
• Wright has not yet entered a plea and has indicated he intends to contest the amended indictment when the trial begins.
