Overview

• Wright has pleaded not guilty to three counts of attempting to pervert the course of justice over actions after the 2022 crash that killed Chris Wilson and left pilot Sebastian Robinson paralysed.
• Closing arguments from the Crown say an alleged effort to hide under‑recorded flight hours tied to the 2,200‑hour overhaul threshold explains the motivation for the alleged cover‑up.
• Prosecutors allege Hobbs meters were disconnected and logs falsified, stressing that the charges do not concern the cause of the crash itself.
• The Crown described the defence strategy as a scorched‑earth attack on Robinson’s credibility over cocaine use and fuel claims, calling those issues irrelevant to the perverting‑justice counts.
• Jurors were urged to ignore extensive media coverage and decide only on the evidence, as the prosecution continues its summing up in Darwin before the defence responds.
