A series of tapped phone calls and secret recordings have been played in the Northern Territory Supreme Court marking the end of the prosecution case in the trial of celebrity croc wrangler Matt Wright. Mr Wright has pleaded not guilty to charges alleging he tried to obstruct an investigation into a 2022 chopper crash, which killed his friend and critically injured the pilot. Mr Wright is alleged to have pressured the pilot to falsifying chopper records and instructed someone to burn documents. He strenuously denies the allegations.
