## Resource

A landmark moment in New South Wales as a police sergeant sentenced for causing the death of 16-year-old Aboriginal teen Jai Wright during a high-risk pursuit — the first time an officer has faced criminal responsibility for such a death in the state’s history. The sergeant, found guilty of dangerous driving occasioning death, blocked Jai’s stolen bike with his unmarked car, leading to a fatal crash. Despite the judge acknowledging the profound grief of Jai’s family — especially his mother’s heart-wrenching testimony — the officer received a two-year intensive corrections order, community service, and license suspension, citing a lack of remorse and his continued employment with the force. The case sparks urgent national conversation on police accountability and Indigenous lives lost. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
