Benedict Bryant, aged 47, was convicted on Friday for causing the death of Dunghutti teenager Jai Kalani Wright due to dangerous driving. The incident took place in February 2022 within an inner Sydney suburb.
After the court proceedings, one of Bryant’s supporters announced plans to appeal the verdict, arguing that the tragic event could have been avoided if individuals had been “in bed, like they should be” at the time.
Kylie Aloua, the mother of Jai Wright, expressed the importance of holding police accountable for their actions. She emphasized that the community needs to trust in their safety when dealing with law enforcement, lamenting that some officers’ actions have undermined this trust.
