Sky News Darwin Bureau Chief Matt Cunningham says the Crown Prosecutor will continue to outline the case against Croc Wrangler Matt Wright today, which relates to his actions after the chopper crash that killed Chris Wilson in 2022.

Mr Wright is standing trial in the Supreme Court of the NT and is facing three counts of perverting the course of justice and has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Matt Cunningham told Katie Woolf the allegations against Mr Wright include that he lied to police in a statement after the crash about the helicopter fuel tank, with the second charge relating to Mr Wright visiting pilot Sebastian Robinson in hospital after the crash.

Mr Cunningham said the Defence Barrister will outline their case after the Prosecution, with Darwin Businessman Mick Burns the first witness to be called.
