About this episode
It's the trial everyone in Darwin is talking about. In February 2022 a helicopter on a crocodile egg collection mission crashed in remote Arnhem Land, killing the egg collector and paralysing the pilot.
NT Croc Wrangler Matt Wright isn't on trial for the crash, but for what allegedly he did after. Charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice, prosecutors say he tried to interfere with the investigation. Wright, has pled not guilty and denies all the allegations.
In this first episode of The Case Of, NT Court Reporter Olivana Lathouris and Stephen Stockwell talk you through what happened in 2022, the specifics of the charges against Matt Wright and what makes this crash so tragic.
The Case Of is the follow-up to the hit podcast Mushroom Case Daily, and all episodes of that show will remain available in the back catalogue of The Case Of.
