Police ‘not touching’ pursuit of officer over crash that led to Jai Kalani Wright’s death, lawyer claims

Sergeant charged over 16-year-old’s death plead not guilty and argue he was just doing his job when the boy hit his unmarked police car and died

Police did not want to pursue charges against a sergeant accused of dangerous driving after an Indigenous teen riding a stolen trail bike hit an unmarked car and died, the officer’s lawyer says.

Benedict Bryant was behind the wheel when Jai Kalani Wright rode the bike into the police vehicle in inner-city Sydney on 19 February 2022.
