## Resource

New revelations from secret recordings are shaking up the case against Outback Wrangler Matt Wright, who was convicted on two counts of attempting to pervert the course of justice following the 2022 helicopter crash that killed co-star Chris Wilson and critically injured pilot Sebastian Robinson. Wright initially told police there was half a tank of fuel left, but later admitted he didn’t see any fuel at all — a contradiction that prosecutors linked to broader allegations he falsified flight logs and tampered with flight-hour meters to skirt regulations. Though not charged with causing the crash, Wright served five months in prison after his August 2025 trial, with one charge unresolved. In response to the leaked recordings, Wright urged fans to question media narratives, calling out reporters for sensationalism in this increasingly complex saga.
