The NT Supreme Court case centred around a helicopter crash in February 2022 in Arnhem Land, about 500km (310 miles) east of Darwin. The case does not relate to the cause of the crash, the death of Mr Wilson and Mr Robinson's injuries. During the trial, the jury heard how Wright visited Mr Robinson several times while he was in hospital. During cross-examination, Mr Robinson denied being a "raging cocaine junkie" after another witness - a fellow helicopter pilot - described him as a "party animal". The court heard that a blood sample from Mr Robinson showed traces of cocaine but below the "prescribed amount for enforcement" under aviation rules, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC).
