Description

A groundbreaking court ruling finds a police officer guilty of dangerous driving, leading to the death of an Aboriginal teenager. Benedict Bryant, 47, was convicted for his role in the death of Jai Kalani Wright, 16, in Sydney. The judge ruled Bryant should have known his actions could cause a serious collision. This verdict is believed to be the first of its kind in New South Wales, marking a significant step forward in accountability for police harming Indigenous people. Bryants lawyer plans to appeal, but Jais father hopes this decision will reset police-First Nations relations.
