Overview
- CCTV, dashcam and doorbell audio were shown on day two, with the court viewing the crash and hearing a loud impact as family members and the accused reacted visibly.
- Prosecutors say Sergeant Benedict Bryant positioned his unmarked car in the teenager’s path without approval, arguing the manoeuvre created a barrier that risked a catastrophic collision.
- Evidence presented includes an estimate that the trail bike was travelling about 68 km/h in a 40 km/h zone and that police had been instructed not to pursue the rider.
- The defence contends another unmarked police vehicle at the intersection forced Jai Wright to divert into a car he could not see, challenging the prosecution’s roadblock theory.
- The judge will decide whether to admit evidence of a separate earlier e‑bike collision involving Bryant, as the judge‑alone trial continues this week and the officer remains employed by NSW Police.
