Famous crocodile wrangler jailed for evidence tampering

Celebrity crocodile wrangler Matt Wright has been sentenced to five months in prison for evidence tampering following a fatal helicopter crash in Australia's Northern Territory. Wright, known for the show Outback Wrangler, was found guilty of lying to police and pressuring a witness involved in the 2022 incident that led to his co-star's death. Despite the maximum sentence for his charges being 15 years, Wright's term was reduced due to mitigating factors. The trial shed light on prevalent falsification of flight records in the NT helicopter industry, a practice Wright allegedly engaged in to avoid maintenance costs.
